The goal of this project is to handle paper tapes handy 8 with today's computers. Therefore we have written drivers for punching and reading with 9 external devices, as well as a complete specialized hex editor for paper tape binary files. 10 This project has produced a lot of tools, partly high quality, partly quick & dirty. 11 It's an open source project – you can get the complete results, every single source 12 file, as well as compiled binaries for Microsoft Windows and Linux. The development 13 proceeds mainly at linux workstations, thanks to their great and powerful Unix shells.</p> 10 <p>Welcome to the <b>Punched Paper Project</b>. This is a small website 11 that informs you about the goals and progress of that project</p> 14 12 15 <h3>Progress/status</h3> 16 <p>I'm about to switch to HTML files for documentation, but there still some README.txt 17 files flying around:</p> 18 <ul> 19 <li><a href="../README.txt">General README about the project and subprojects</a></li> 20 <li><a href="../reader/README.txt">Reader subsystem readme</a></li> 21 <li><a href="../usersprace-driver/README.txt">Userspace driver (puncher) subsystem readme</a></li> 22 <li><a href="../web-frontend/README.txt">Webfrontend readme</a></li> 23 </ul> 13 <h2>In a nutshell</h2> 14 <p>The goal of this project is to handle various antiquated storage 15 media with today's computers. Such media are especially paper tapes 16 and punch cards. 17 <br/>This project started as <b>Paper Tape Project</b> with drivers 18 that make PCs capable to 19 communicate with paper tape readers and writers, so we can now read 20 and write paper tapes under various operating systems (GNU/Linux, 21 Micrsoft Windows). Then we got visualizing and operating tools for 22 paper tape data, as well as font/label generators for paper tapes. 23 <br/>In 2009, we got the idea to make punch card devices run at 24 computers, too. So I've renamed the whole project to <b>Punched 25 Paper Project</b>. 26 </p> 24 27 25 <p>See this progress README files:</p> 26 <ul> 27 <li><a href="../puncher/README.txt">Puncher subsystem readme</a></li> 28 </ul> 29 30 <p>The this shallabe README files:</p> 31 <ul> 32 <li><a href="../driver/README.txt">General driver subsystem</a></li> 33 </ul> 34 35 <h3>Targeted structure</h3> 36 <p>Something about the goal</p> 28 <h2>Who's running the project</h2> 29 <p>The Punched Paper Project is an <b>Open Source</b> project by a 30 german student. It's hosted on the servers of the german computer 31 museum <a href="http://www.technikum29.de">technikum29</a>.</p>
