Martin has been with DEC for many years, he is the major contributor and distributor of DECUS C, a very fine C package that is very migratable among DEC machinery. - Steven Gutfreund

From TK@MIT-MC Sun Sep 4 15:38:58 1983 Sorry, Steve. DecTalk was developed with the extensive assistance of Dennis Klatt, and is the result of about 15 years of Dennis' research here at MIT. It was originally a program running on a PDP-9 computer, originally in building 20, and later on the fifth floor of building 36. I'm sure Martin Minow may have had a lot to do with making it a product, but I think it's important to get these stories straight.
