On RSX, the version number got at least as high as V2.1G.  This one was
shipped to me a few years ago under an update agreement, though I never got
around to performing the upgrade from V2.1F.  This was a decent, reliable
compiler - in complete contrast to Digital's Pascal for RSX.  That was the
buggiest piece of DEC software that I've personally worked with (and I had
a copy of RSTS/E BP2 V2.0, too).
