That was the first version that offerred a 128 version. I know because I
have kept up with every version since Navigator 3.0.1 through
Communicator 4.7.6 (mac). To get 128 bit version you had to fill out a
form with you name email and you had to click on check box swearing you
were a US citzen under penalty of law. Supposedly the Federal G-Men
could come to your house and throw you in Federal prision if you were
not to be a citizen.

You you could get the regular version and then use the utility Fortify
from fortify.net to convert it to 128 bit.

 I thought that 1.1 had 128 bit because there was segregation then. 2.0
 for sure had 128 bit. If I recall, some of the 4.0 betas had 156 bit.

156 bit has only been around since 4.5 at which time the necessity of
swearing an oath of US citizenship was dropped.
