yes, mine is an OLDER copy: labeled "second printing: december 1985"
with the print sequence code just above that as BCDEFGHIJ-HA-898765
(i believe that each letter gets chipped off as they update, so
  the next version would be CDE..., and i'll guess that the trailing
   numbers might be the year code)

... and i see by another posting that an April 1987 (6th printing)
  has the appendix too.

Imagine -- WOODY ends up being the person with the edition WITHOUT
the critical Appendix...

This almost reads like the time Eastern Airlines bumped Ralph Nader
by overbooking -- which was the seed which sprouted into the "they
owe you money and a free flight if they bump you" practice/rules
existing today.  But with software companies , WE get to pay for
upgrades (if we find out they exist).
