Anyway, my manual (as far as I can tell) says nothing
about a version
number, though the copyright date is "1979, 1981" on the diskette.
For reference, a the diskette says:
"Apple II and II Plus 48k 16 Sector" part number 10911-5511

Must be newer than the above. All the Visi series stuff I have seen has
always been in brown plastic binders. Max - check the edges of your "leather
binder" - if they are heat sealed, then it is plastic. But if it is really
leather (deluxe edition?), interesting and something to look out for.
Naturally, it's fake leather, with some kind of soft stuffing inside. The
point is that I've seen a black plastic version, and I'm not sure if it's
newer or older. My Visicalc disk has the identical label, but the manuals
say '4/81'. Ha! Beat you by a month! Mine also has the 'Software Arts
Technical Note SATN-18 Programmer's Guide to DIF(tm) A Data Interchange
Format'. It's a developer's guide to hacking Visicalc files. Do the rest
of them have this also?

My brown vinyl binder includes a disk with a slightly earlier label:
"Apple II and II Plus 32-48K", (C) 1979, and no p/n
No technical notes, and the ref card is dated 9/79, as I mentioned
earlier. So, I'll assume this was the first released version until
somebody tells me of an earlier version.
