Then Ian quoted this from the Icon implementation book:

In replying to Steve's message, I was referring to the first
implementation that Steve and I did in C on the PDP/11. Yes, there was
the Ratfor version (on the DEC-10) by Tim Korb (aka "bikmort"), et. al.,
before that.
Sorry, I didn't mean to mislead anyone.
