It might have been System 2.0 - that was the original OS release for the
SE and Mac II in 1987.

Not so many years ago (1992/93) I was using an Amstrad PC512 (I think it
was called) networked to a 286 file server with a 20MB HD.  We were
stuck with Wordstar 2000.  It was awful, but all of Angel Publishing
used it for editorial copy.  A stupid management decision meant that the
secretarial staff got a Windoze network and MS Word 2.0 about the time I
left.  Amusingly, it never worked right even on the day it was
installed.  The editorial people were due to get Macs, and after seeing
the PC mess, were really rather glad.
