I agree with Paul, that V3 (-1978) was the version that most people implemented. I seems to remember that, VMS started with V2 and upgraded to 3 - as I remember on VAX Serial #1 trying to read tapes from it on the 360 or the Univac was funky.

I think, but this is a *very* vague memory, that one of the later additions was the addition of the century number to the date fields. Originally, ANSI labels were not Y2K compliant.
