NAME
pnch - file format for card images
DESCRIPTION
The PNCH format is a convenient representation for files consisting of
card images in an arbitrary code.
A PNCH file is a simple concatenation of card records. A card record
consists of a single control byte followed by a variable number of
data bytes. The control byte specifies the number (which must lie in
the range 0-80) of data bytes that follow. The data bytes are 8-bit
codes that constitute the card image. If there are fewer than 80 data
bytes, it is understood that the remainder of the card image consists
of trailing blanks.
