It was DWB 1.0.

Actually, if you get the shareware version of JetRoff and the four
patches to it from comp.sources.misc, you *can* use JetRoff with
DWB 1.0.  The fourth patch contains the fixes for V/AT's DWB 1.0.
The commercial version 2.6 also works.  Both versions are subject
to limitations of the 286 hardware, but as long as you don't try
to use a zillion fonts with a zillion special characters you'll
be OK.

I don't like to admit that it works, because the 286 is such a
royal headache, but it does.
