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> |
---|
12 | |
---|
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>. |
