My recollection was that the first version was actually '7', not
"1.00", although I've never used it so had to check.

No that cannot be right because v 6.2 is the version which I bought
originally, and it had been on sale for many years before that. A
colleague of mine uses 4.15 which he updated from 4.0.


IIRC there was an oddity in that v6 came out /after/ v7. It was a cut
down version for schools or something.

I think that is correct. In effect the 'full' version was '7' and cut-down
cheaper versions had lower version numbers. And the webpage I referred to
seems to confirm my recollection that '7' was the initial release. They
may have reverted to a "1.00" for the first Windows version because that
didn't work as well at the time, though. :-)


There was a fad for things to be called name 7 at the time, I blame it
on the BBC! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake%27s_7
