Nope. I tried it too and Wayback has missed out on versions prior to
2.0. For example you refer to a pre-2.0. They may be still be somewhere.
I definitely remember a numbered version prior to 2.0. How many
numbered versions exist prior to 2.0? I don't know, but I think there
are a few.

No. There is a 1994 version which is in Greg F's subdirectory at LDP. But
still more are missing.
