NAME lbppt -- load binary paper tapes
SYNOPSIS lbppt output [ input ]
DESCRIPTION lbppt loads a paper tape in standard UNIX binary paper
tape format. It is used to bring files to a UNIX
installation. Currently there is a GECOS program to
prepare a GECOS file in binary paper tape format.
If the input file is specified, the character stream from
that input is expected to be in UNIX binary paper tape
format. If it is not present, /dev/ppt is assumed. The
input stream is interpreted, checksummed, and copied to the
output file.
