there _used_ to be a program that shipped with UNIX (at least
BSD-flavors, if nothing else) that could take a string as a command
line arg, and print either a punch card image or papertape renderings
to stdout.
Does anyone remember the _name_ of this program?
ppt(6) for paper tape form, bcd(6) for punch cards.
In Seventh Edition, BSD, SunOS 4, and some Linux distros. I think I
have the Seventh Edition source here somewhere if you want it :-)
