vm370 monthly service tapes (referred to as "PLC" or program level
change) had both the full original release source and all the
accumulated source updates ... besides having precompiled modules.

The burlington group had done a modified CMS TAPE program for release
and monthly PLC service tapes (VMFPLC). Among the things "lost" with the
shutdown of the Burlington development group was the source changes for
VMFPLC (one of the few things where the full source wasn't shipped). I
was possibly the only person in the company that still had the original
source for VMFPLC.  some discussion in this post
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003b.html#42 VMFPLC2 tape format

In the late 70s, I was doing an internal backup/archive for internal
datacenters and enhanced the VMFPLC source to add some additional
features and get higher tape data capacity (lot more tape record
blocking so there were fewer physical tape records). Originally
distributed mostly in the silicon valley area (including HONE) ... but
started to spread through much of the rest of the company. This went
through several internal releases ... and then was enhanced for customer
release with lots of client applications for backing up distributed
environment and released as workstation datasave ...  which morphs into
ADSM ... and then when IBM was unloading the disk division, morphs int
TSM. some old email
