V2.  As a customer, I reported bugs #2 thru #5 on VAX Pascal V2.0.  I 
had reported a BUNCH against V1.x.  When I started at DEC, VAX Pascal 
V2.1 had just shipped (I think) and I started there.  We still have the 
sources (and kits) for VAX Pascal V1 by the way.

And yes, DEC C existed on VAX first.  That is why we have the CC/DECC 
qualifier.  It only was useful on VAX to pick between the two different 
images.
