What do you mean by "honored the double tape marks"? There is nothing
special about a double tape mark, other than that you have an empty file. By

Yes - I found that intriguing. Presumably a customer who licenses a copy of

No, but you can find at least a partial layout in the DFSMSdfp Diagnosis

In 1.7 the WTO and WTOR macros no longer support the relevant keywords (they
are flagged with a severe error), so it's not possible to assemble a program
