Well, a bunch of us had our hands on it in the last few days, and there were a number of passes at the final one. Dave Robson was just finishing up the ST interpreter for the book and making sure it would run the image, so he had a number of last-minute changes. Oops -- I'm thinking of Version 1, the true ancestor of Squeak. I think it was Glenn Krasner who did the final wrap-up for the Version 2 release that you have here (and probably V1 as well -- he always got things right).
I think of Version 1 as being "The Release" because it put ST-80 out in the world, legally. However I can't lay my hands on a copy so I'm not sure of that date.
...and I love your emulation of the original ST-80 (complete with file system!).
