Which assembler. There was everything from BAL on BPS to Assembler (F) on OS.
For DOS and OS, libraries were on DASD; for TOS they were on tape. Nothing supported COPY from cards. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

What language translator supports COPY members on cards (or in any other sequential medium, for that matter)?

A stack of file pointers doesn't work when you're reading the copy files from punched cards. 😉
