Hey!!  They aren't the only ones you know...  IBM's PascalVS (you know
the 'official' Pascal for sys/370), while it doesn't REQUIRE Seq.Num.s,
certainly requires that if you don't use them, you don't put anything
else after col 72.  And the latest version of that one came out just
last summer!!!

   And you all thought we were moving forward...  :-)
