PIP Image Format
PIP image format is two 12 bit words converted to 3 8 bit characters. This
format gives an exact copy of any file type. If the file is a .BN
file this gives a file you can use with a paper tape reader as a normal
binary file. The file is created as:
.PIP
*PTP:<FILE.EX/I
To read a file in under an emulator attach the file to the paper tape reader
and use:
.PIP
*FILE.EX<PTR:/I
This doesn't work well with real paper tape since you must start with exactly
the correct character. The Kermit ENCODE and DECODE format is better for
transfering files to a real PDP-8.
