    No, use Punched Cards (without an interpreter) or paper tape. I have an 8-pin paper tape holder complete with a pin for punching the holes individually that you can borrow. I got it after I used to make my own by cutting strips of paper and using different size knitting needles for the data holes and the sprocket holes.

          Notepad++ is a luxury editor. You should use vi instead. :laugh:

              Yes, Inno Setup adds a lightweight Pascal scripting engine to your setup, it is quite good and flexible in fact. But as a C# programmer I find the Pascal syntax awful.

                Probably the last time someone saw an update that actually really solved a problem.

                    Actually, it is true! That is really how I wrote my first program.

                      I didn’t doubt it. My comment just intended to be funny :-D. I built my first punched tape reader from pieces of PCB welded together with solder. It had 9 LEDs and photodiodes for each channel and the sprocket hole was used as clock. You pulled the tape manually through the thing. A beautiful contraption :)
