You wrote in assembler first, then converted?  What a wimp! <GGG>

IBM had some kind of form that was probably some 20" wide and some
30" tall, covered with little squares 1/2" by 1/2".  This came in
pads like the coding sheets.  I have no idea what this form was
meant to be used for, but I coded straight into machine code on them.

I still remember far too much of the S/32,S/34,S/36 machine code.
I think I could still work my way through a program dump if I had to.
