Punching the 8th row is not suitable for DEC-Labels, because this is
used for indicating leader/trailer of the .BN-files. Not using the 8th
row makes it possible to put labels between two parts of a program
without irritation of some binloaders.
It would be possible for example to label the three parts of the
CINET-BASIC, which I got in the meantime, each by it self. A normal
loader will simply skip them.
