Most of the paper tape software that I have is on rolls, not fanfold. So - unlike my nice PDP-8 PC04 that folds paper tape that was just read all nicely on one side..... after reading a tape roll on my HP I have a very large and fragile mess of a tape pile on the floor. I'm sure that many of the inventive folks on the list have come up with interesting ways to re-roll paper tape after it's read (short of the "by hand" route that takes forever). I don't have an electric or manual tape winder, but figured people around here had found some other thing that would do it well. I *THOUGHT* I had found a great solution - one of those old fashioned hand crank drills. I wrap the paper tape tightly aroung the tip (without a bit in it), set it point down on a cushioned chair, turn the crank and viola - my tape rolls up quickly. However, last night as I saw my cherished diagnostic configurator tape slide right into the gears of the drill, I figured I had better ask for other solutions <grin>. Is there something common around a typical house that folks have found works well for winding paper tape rolls? Thanks! Jay West
