I'm curious whether any of you old-timers can explain why we have both VTOCs and catalogs. I'm guessing it comes down to (a) VTOCs came first and catalogs were added to solve some problem (what?) and/or (b) catalogs were added to save some I/O and/or memory, back when a bit of those mattered. But I'd like to understand. Anyone?
