It is true.  STSC's first micro APL was for the Trash-80 model 100.
They translated this to get the first version of their IBM PC implementation.
Happily, their Unix implementation has no common ancestors with these.

Contact STSC, Inc in Rockville, MD for details.  I believe it came
with replacement character generator ROMs that gave you a full
APL character set.
