At UMR, for whatever reason they had no carriage control on tape channel
12. If you were a clever (and unpopular) coder you could skip to
channel 12 an accomplish the same thing.
Programming languages in the shop had library overrides to make that a
carriage control (another channel) but assembler programs could do it
directly.
Thanks
