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.
