I talked to one of our software librarians to find out the latest software
versions. This list is as of 4/25/85 and applies only to released
software.
MacPaint: version 1.5
MacWrite: version 4.5
MacDraw: version 1.7
MacTerminal: version 1.1
System File: dated 04/08/85
Imagewriter: dated 03/06/85
Finder: dated 04/08/85 (version 4.1)
Font/DA Mover: dated 04/09/85
The librarian didn't know the version numbers of MacProject or MacPascal,
but there has only been 1 released version of those products.
As for obtaining new releases of software, I think that in general the
procedure is to get the updates from a dealer. You might need to bring in
the original disk as a proof of purchase. (This is especially true for
things like MacTerminal and MacDraw that are not bundled with the
Macintosh.) For distributing the new Finder, the dealers should have a
system update disk, which automatically installs the new Finder, standard
file package, Imagewriter, etc. files on a disk. (The last 4 files listed
above are contained on the system update disk.)
Hope this clears up some of the confusion.
