Default did Excel GAMMADIST parameters change??

My copy of Function Reference for Excel 4.0 (copyright 1992) shows

GAMMADIST(x,alpha,beta,cumulative)

In the literature, Milesky, Tucker, et.al. they use GAMMADIST with
parameters
of (alpha,beta,x,cum). However my Excel has the parameters of
(x,alpha,beta,cum). Did GAMMADIST change? merely shifting "x" to the
implied new order does NOT provide the same results!
