That's *REALLY* true !

 Back in 1984 I bought my copy of the ProDOS Technical Reference Manual just a
few month after ProDOS was first available to the end user.
 It  only  shows a copyright date of 1983 - no release date or revision number
but explicitly references ProDOS 1.0 in the version specific parts.
 On  the other side, the quit call already worked in ProDOS 1.0 and is used by
the Exerciser which is dated Oct 83.
