PostScript Punchcards

⊕

punch.ps reads a file from stdin and produces the IBM punchcards representing the lines (which should be shorter than 80 chars). Invoke with

gs punch.ps < yourfile

for flip-book mode, or

gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=cardstack punch.ps < yourfile

for a stack of all the cards.
This program combines well with a computer-driven laser cutter...
