minus-square@davefischer@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglish4•10 months agoNo, except for software that represented data in virtual punched cards under the covers, for communicating with remote systems. (None of which used punched cards anymore.)
minus-square@CanadaPlusOPlink2•edit-210 months agoHah, xnec2c for GUI antenna simulation still expects you to make virtual punch cards. “If it’s not broken”, I guess…
minus-square@davefischer@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglish1•10 months agoHeh. Presumably there’s some very old FORTRAN in there somewhere?
minus-square@CanadaPlusOPlink2•10 months agoIt’s an old FORTRAN program with a graphical interface kludged overtop, I think.
