OK, I must be getting the switching the version from 1.5 to 6.0 (or was it
6.1) for the Alpha version mixed up with that.

While it was earlier than 7.2, wasn't 7.2 in field test? That's why I said
7.2eft (External Field Test). I know the V7.2 Doc set's say Compaq (and
have a really stupid cover). Dunno, I could have sworn that's when it was,
but as you say, time flies.
