I don't know about BPS and BOS, but DOS and TOS had access methods.
The source code, however, was device dependant. Even if you used the
more recent DTFDI, which was nominally device dependent, you couldn't
use the sane DTF for UR equipment and blocked files.

Likewise macro and subroutine libraries.

Or manually remove them when they're automatically added.
I wonder whether there's enough commonality in the syntax of
attribution lines for the list software to automatically strip the
e-mail addresses and leave the names?
