As a student at UC Berkeley (1967-1971), I had a part-time job at the Computer 
Center, which ran a CDC 6400 under SCOPE. We punched cards, transferred them to 
magnetic tape, and used UPDATE to maintain logical decks. I personally used 
this technology while working on CAL SNOBOL and CAL TSS. Once we got CAL TSS 
far enough along to support development (on a second CDC 6400), we switched to 
Teletypes (a mixture of Model 33’s and Model 35’s). I still have source code 
for CAL SNOBOL because of archivists at U. of Arizona and U. of Texas, but most 
of the source code for CAL TSS was lost (listings survive).
