Recently, I've been making MAINDEC paper tapes to run on my PDP8E. I've made these tapes in a piece meal fashion. All the MAINDEC programs were downloaded from Bitsavers etal. I then opened a file with a HEX editor and added a long leader of blanks. This was so that I could mode easily load the tape in the ASR33 or REMEX. The PDP8E was not involved in making these tapes.
So, I have been looking for some DEC software that will make these paper tapes (including the leader/trailers). I have read about a program called ECHO, but so far have not found the code for it. There must be other DEC code for hand loaded paper tapes (not fan fold DEC tapes). Mike
