We've got the B compiler working. Robert Swierczek gets all the credit.

use a real tty; I only used glass ttys (ADM3a, VT100s and so on).

Yes there is an emulator for the Mac that does both glass tty emulation with smearing
fuzzy chats etc. and ASR33. I'll have to do some digging through the old email. To
find the pointer.
My memory is its a small dollars and my open source. Clem

Btw. It does not emulate the smell of small machine oil or the mess of ppt punch chaff on

I'll keep looking for the ASR33 and IBM 2780 emulators.

Is there an emulator for the 132 column line printer anywhere?
I'd like to take a file (complete with FORTRAN carriage control) and turn it
into an image (PNG or whatever), supporting overstrikes.
On my bucket list is to convert my collection of image tapes from the
1970s, intended to be printed on an lpr, cut into strips, and taped
together, into images suitable for a laser printer or a normal monitor.
What font did a typical IBM mainframe printer use, anyway?

I hacked a terminal emulator to look like it once.
Fired up the browser running javascript, running jor1k,
running linux, running simh, running a v6 install.
http://dugo.home.xs4all.nl/ksr33.png for the result.
I kept the pipes that shouldn't be there on a
standard print head. Speed was controlled by
simh settings.
I reverted to the standard jor1k emulator for
the v6 demo[1] because I have no experience or
other reference for exactly how a KSR-33
exactly works and lacked the bandwidth to
even implement overstrike.
I saw one in a contest that emulated the sounds
and the moving parts at:
https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=41373
with source at:
https://bitbucket.org/slash_slashware/jsteletype/src
[1]
http://www.oldbsd.org/unixv6install.html
watch out, it is slow and runs on a limited set
of browsers.

There are no such things as strange requests here :-) Anyway, I've just
posted a request to the RTTY list; I'll post back any results.
I thought it would be nice to get a feel for what it
was like to use a
real tty; I only used glass ttys (ADM3a, VT100s and so on).
My first time was the ASR-33 on the mighty PDP-8...
