    2    The Paper tape project
     2   The Paper Tape Project
    33   ======================
    44
    5    The paper tape project is a big crowd of programs, scripts and binary
    6    data and experiments which made it possible to read and punch
    7    paper tapes.
     5   The Paper Tape Project want's to make it possible for today's
     6   personal computers to read and punch paper tapes. It is developed
     7   on GNU/Linux, but most of the programs are intended to run on both
     8   Linux and Microsoft Windows NT (Windows 2000, XP, Vista?).
    89
    9    Everything is written in German, so if you don't understand something,
    10    feel free to mail me (technikum29.de @ - nospam - @ sven; read it the
    11    other way around).
     10   To tell you the truth -- it's partly only a big crowd of programs,
     11   scripts and binary data and experiments, but with the help of
     12   a subversion reposity (see README.SVN.txt for that) we want to
     13   tidy it up and develop high quality software.

    13    Sven, 05.05.2008
     15   All programs in this project shall be published according to the
     16   GNU General Public License (GPL), if there are no license information
     17   in the particular files.
     18
     19   Many programs or comments, respectively, are written in German, because
     20   technikum29.de is a german organisation. If you want to collaborate or
     21   understand the programs, feel free to mail me (technikum29.de@sven;
     22   read it the other way around).

     30   I'll present you now our subprojects / subdirectories, but you can read
     31   more about them in the particular README.txt files in the directories.

    20    1. Perl paper tape tools
    21    ------------------------
    22    There are some self-explanatory perl scripts which draw paper tapes
    23    (ASCII art), generate labels in different "fonts", parse ASCII
    24    number files, etc.
     33   main subprojects:
    2534
    26 
    27    2. Userspace punch driver
    28    -------------------------
    29    This is a linux ppdev driver for the FACIT 4070 Tape punch-75 CPS
    30    paper tape puncher (parallel port). The file puncher.c implements
    31    this driver.
    32    After connecting the puncher to the computer and before switching
    33    it on, you must run setoff-strobe[.c], otherwise it will directly
    34    start punching like an idiot.
    35 
    36    The usage of puncher[.c] is quite simple:
    37 
    38      $ cat files-to-punch | ./puncher
    39 
    40    of course you need the ppdev driver in your linux kernel. Make sure
    41    /dev/parport0 exists.
    42 
    43      # modprobe ppdev
    44      # chmod 777 /dev/parport0
    45 
    46    There is a nice interactive perl frontend which generates a label
    47    for your paper tape:
    48 
    49      $ ./puncher-frontend.pl files-to-punch
    50 
    51 
    52    3. User space paper tape reader
    53    -------------------------------
    54    This ppdev userspace driver drives the GHIELMETTI FER 201. Most
    55    things from the puncher driver also apply here, especially the
    56    setoff-strobe program which stops the reader from running all
    57    the time.
    58 
    59    Usage of reader[.c]:
    60 
    61      $ ./reader > read-in-file.bin
    62 
    63    The program is not really completed, thus it won't correctly
    64    detect the end of the paper tape, but it stops automatically
    65    some time after the paper tape run out.
    66 
    67 
    68    4. Paper Tape Visualisator
    69    --------------------------
    70    The visualisator program is a modular C program which draws
    71    nice pictures of paper tapes using the cairo graphics library.
    72    Thus it can produce SVG and PNG output and is highly
    73    configurable. There exists multiple frontends, among others a
    74    terminal frontend (CLI); a web frontend (PHP & Ajax), using
    75    the terminal program; and a very nice GTK user interface which
    76    is capable of loading very huge files (multiple MegaBytes)
    77    because it doesn't have to render the whole paper tape at once.
    78 
    79    Especially the gtk frontend still tends to crash unexpectedly,
    80    besides there is a very strange bug while rendering the paper
    81    tape partially in the viewport which I could not solve until
    82    now.
    83 
    84    The PHP frontend is quite complex, but very friendly to DAUs
    85    (a german expression for "PEBKAC") due to the ability to fold
    86    the huge formular. It should be running stable but hasn't
    87    really be tested so far. Thanks to caching every generated image
    88    it should even stand very much rendering requests.
