My (second-hand) understanding of this is that Sun Microsystems added
the -L and -M options, and that they were never in any versions from
Adobe (although they hopefully will be in the future?).  If it may
happen that you got 2.0 from Sun and 2.1 through another channel
(or direct from Adobe), that might explain/substantiate this.

Sun has a source/redistribution license for TranScript, and have added
a few features of their own along the way...

I hope this helps.
