Yes, I recall the old days (not saying "good" old days 😂) when we used
coding sheets and keypunch cards.
What a mess if you didn't use them and then dropped the source deck.
Aiiiiiiiii.

Much better now with the new editors and of course RDi.

I'd imgaine it was for compatibility...

All that existing source had page & line numbers...so RPG III allowed the
source to have the characters there.
