[GreenKeys] OT: Punching Human Readable Characters on 8 level tape?

[Alf Fisher]

Eugene,

I know you are talking 8 bit bytes but this on Sam’s website gives the same effect for 5 level tape.

Probably someone out there has done it but I haven't found it yet.

Hello friends,

 

Does anyone know of a program (maybe one I can run on a PC) that will take an ASCII string of characters and output a series of 8-bit bytes that when sent to a tape punch, will create human readable characters on the tape? A single ASCII character would typically require several bytes to form the character.  I guess it might be called a “Banner Program” or something like that. Anyone know of something? 

 

Thanks
