UPDATE had a lot of warts, but like IEBUPDTX it was very nice for dealing with independent updates from different programmers.

I grew leery of CMS UPDATE when I found it couldn't handle updating files that contain lines that look like update control cards. I know it's not very likely that anyone would ever maintain an UPDATE file by using UPDATE, but stuff like that always makes me wonder what else isn't being handled correctly.
