It's true, it's true.....

Are you sure about this? The Fox40 website doesn't mention Forte, but instead mentions engineer Chuck Shepherd as the co-developer (see here).

The one site I found (text which appears on Amazon and several other spots) mentioning Forte seems unreliable (it's here).

Sounds like an urban myth to me. What's the source of your info?
