I suppose one could use a hex format, but I've never seen anything under
CP/M other than binary. Normally it's loaded into memory and then saved to
disk.

Subject: Paper tape format
From the
"just out of curiosity" department...
What is the punch format used for a paper tape that would be used on an
Altair or IMSAI? Is it straight binary or something like the Intel Hex
format?
The reason why I'm asking is because I'm toying with adding a virtual
paper
tape punch/reader to Claus Guiloi's IMSAI
emulator.
