Abstract: BINPUN is used to generate a binary paper tape version of
a save program (core image file), and thereby achieve a safety backup
copy of the saved program. The binary output from BINPUN contains
all necessary codes and can be loaded by means of the ABSLDR
program. The saved program to be punched needs not be loaded in core
prior to punching as BINPUN reads the codes directly from the core
image file.

If needed BINPUN is able to merge multiple files into a single binary
paper tape.
