Wrong!
Excel 2.1C was the version released as an update along with 
the Upgrade offer to Windows 3.0 on May 21st.

Version 2.1D was never formally announced to the public at all
but instead was only sent to those of us who bitterly complained
over and over again about printing problems and the like.
As of July, 2.1D was shipped as the upgrade and as the regular
packaged product.  However, if you get the upgrade you will still
see in the letter the reference to version 2.1C and how wonderful
Excel now is under Windows 3.0.
