       tape or morse code

SYNOPSIS
       bcd [string ...]
       ppt [-d|string ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The bcd, ppt and morse commands read the given input and
       reformat it in the form of punched cards, paper tape  or
       morse  code  respectively.  Acceptable input are command
       line arguments or the standard input.

       Available option:

             tion).
