Yes, Greenarrays licenses polyFORTH from us. I don't think their system has all the bells and whistles (database, graphics, etc.) that polyFORTH had, but the architecture would be the same. There was an intermediate stage that I should mention, though: from the early to mid-80's when we ran polyFORTH under DOS on PCs we kept blocks in DOS files.
