      Teletext tape? I used to use the teletext machine up to early '80s. Can't remember how to read the dots though.

      These appear to be in 7-bit ascii with even parity (see also).

      Top: CALL FSTATS

      Bottom, reading right-to-left: IF(I1.EQ.0) CALL RESCAN(I1,IGEN,IQD)

      I suspect this of being part of a program in FORTRAN.

      Thanks very much for your comments and Rob for the translation :) I didn't do much programming and certainly not in FORTRAN.

      Argh! I did program in FORTRAN but luckily have forgotten it all.

      I used to send freight manifests to Cherbourg on this stuff for Townsend Thoresen, in DISLEXIX. That teletype had a beat you could swing to...

      My main memory of teletext machines was at a Summer School in Reading. They were housed in a large old nissan-type shed. Students fought one another (literally!) to play MUD (well, a derivative)and we all were ill with the noise levels :)
