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

[Mike Douglas]

If you're wanting to run it on a vintage computer, I have one that runs under CP/M on an Altair or similar computer and punches banners on a Teletype punch.

 Hi All,

I made a python scrip called "converter 1.0" doing the translation and 
punching, giving visual feedback in a terminal as well:

ITA2 support was not finished yet as my main focus was the two different 
fridens we have.

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?
