I worked on v2.0-v3.6 at DEC and 4.2 or so after leaving them.
The versions 1.x were mostly compatibility mode utilities.
2.0 was buggy...
I seem to remember a quick upgrade to 2.2 or so was more stable.
I remember 3.2 as pretty good and 3.2-3.4 less so if you were
trying to use the new hardware HSC's, RA81's and stuff.
3.5 and 3.6 were very stable... on 11/7xx boxes and 8600's.
Clusters were new and tricky but useable at 3.6.
Clusters got good by 4.2
This is my best field service memory from almost 20 years ago.
1981-86.
