I'm not sure when it came along, but by VM/SE there was a somewhat
more sophisticated UPDATE facility[1] with aux files, control files
and update files. I'd love to see a similar facility integrated with
ISPF.

[1] Not only could the XEDIT editor process them, but it could
    generate update files to reproduce the effects of an edit
    session. That's one of the CMS facilities I miss the most.
