NAME            lbppt -- load binary paper tape



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 inter-

                preted, checksummed, and copied to the output

                file.



FILES           /dev/ppt
