PUNCH is a utility to punch a paper tape, with options to generate
carriage-control, parity, legible header, copyright notice, checksum, and for
ASCII/MURRAY code conversion. INPUT reads such tapes, with parity and checksum
verification and code conversion (including EIA) options.

Assemble and link as:

	$ MAC INPUT=INPUT
	$ TKB @INPRESBLD
	$ MAC PUNCH=PUNCH
	$ TKB @PUNRESBLD

Notes: PUNCH doesn't have all the facilities it might, because it got
replaced by a despooler with the extra features. Before you build PUNCH, you
may wish to change the copyright message at label HOLDER. If you don't,
anything you punch with a copyright header will be assigned to Sira!

INPUT doesn't recognise an EIA tape in precisely the correct format as regards
the newline character. This was done because the people who read our EIA
tapes expected it that way. See the EIA standard (RS-244-B) to correct this.
