The Michigan Terminal System also has a built-in inclusion facility:
$RUN MYPROG
<type type type>
$CONTINUE WITH <filename> RETURN
<more type type type>
$ENDFILE
It was called 'implicit concatenation', and could be disabled by the program
or on the command line (i.e. $RUN MYPROG SCARDS=*SOURCE*@-IC).
Ah, the good old days when we used real OS's instead of these Berkeley toys.
