Ah right, cool ... so it worked with punch cards and so on but conceptually you can very well make the argument that this was the granddad of all source control systems :-) even though I see people arguing about whether or not IEBUPDTE truly "was" a version control system - the concept "version control system" probably did not exist yet, so IEBUPDTE did not advertise itself as such ... but conceptually it was a precursor.
