Yes of course! Starting 1969, when I got into college. And that is why FORTRAN used only 72 columns of the 80-column cards: so that the cards could have sequence numbers punched in columns 73-80.  Then the ubiquitous card sorters could save the day after that kind of disaster.

A friend of mine used to say that the only good programs were those that were unnumbered and got dropped when they were almost ready to deliver, and thus had to be re-coded from scratch...

All the best, --stolfi
