Wasn't MPE/V the first version in which SPOOK went away, and you could no
longer grab the CCTL records from a spool file?

IIRC that was right about that time that I got several nice Attaboys for
fixing what were originally advance-then-print spoolfiles that needed
editting, after which they became dysfunctional print-then-advance
spoolfiles... until you put back the mysteriously missing  first two records
with C & A in the cctl byte.
