I did see that, but I was not after a GIF rendering of a punch card...
I'm really after ASCII-art renderings. The specific program I was
looking for is 'ppt' from the BSD games collecton.
I'd be somewhat more interested in Jonathan's 'punchcard' if source
were made available. I could write one myself with Tom Boutell's GD
library, but, honestly, why re-invent the wheel.

That's inadvertent. The script parser (PHP perhaps?) is automatically
escaping the single quote with a backslash, which is the default action.
You normally have to run web inputs through filtering functions to get rid
of any escape characters the parser added.
