The 10/20 MPB and GALAXY batch systems supported the model of preparing

nothing like the IBM nightmares of complexity.
The batch system under RSX is the same. It can take jobs on punched
cards, which has its own queue(s).
A few years ago someone was trying to play around with this, and found
some bugs. Clearly noone had been using this in a long time, or else had
been using it in a very limited, legacy way.
