Just released: d8tape
This program takes a BIN or RIM formatted paper tape binary file and
disassembles
it. It features the documentation for the BIN
and RIM paper tape formats
as source
code comments, along with the documentation for
the 8/I and 8/L IOTs
(which it also
decodes). Released as "free for
non-commercial" license.
Comments, bug reports, feature requests welcome.

Hey, I did one of these (in Perl), too! I used it to reverse engineer
sources for various versions of Focal. I also have a perverse version that
"disassembles" to x86 assembly, which then links to a support module to help
emulate the IOTs.
Your stuff gets published, though :-)!
:-)
A new feature that I'm working on now is the ability to convert RIM -> BIN
or vice versa, as well as a RIM -> RIM and BIN -> BIN "cleanup" phase
that
trims off excess pre-header and post-trailer stuff. Look for it at a website
near you soon! :-)
Cheers,
-RK
