+<h3>The files in detail</h3>
+
+<p>This is an overview over the perl tools:
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="byte-tester">byte-tester</a>: Will simply output
+  a byte with the value you gave the program via argv[1]. Nice
+  for sending special bytes via shell scripts to the puncher
+<li><a href="hex-meter">hex-meter</a>: Generates a quite long
+  byte pattern that contains all possible byte values from 0x00
+  up to 0xFF. Nice for debugging and espacially practical for
+  counting rapidly the position on another paper tape.
+<li><a href="how-long-is-this-papertape">how-long-is-this-papertape</a>:
+  This is a kind of <tt>du</tt> shell utility for paper tapes &ndash;
+  it won't count the size some files take on your hard disk but
+  the length of paper tape they would produce if punched out ;-)
+<li><a href="label-it">label-it</a>: A very simple implementation of
+  a paper tape font: You input the label via command line arguments
+  and this script will produce some bytes that will look like text
+  when punched out on a paper tape ;-)
+  <br>This was the very first implementation of a paper tape font.
+<li><a href="punch-simulator">punch-simulator</a>: A very simple
+  program to print out how bytes (reading from STDIN) would look
+  on a paper tape. ASCII art :-)
+<li><a href="read-file">read-file</a>: This is a simple program that
+  reads in numbers from a text file and packs them together to bytes.
+  So this behaves a bit like byte-tester, only more complex.
+<li><a href="strip-null-bytes.c">strip-null-bytes (C program)</a>:
+  This is a quite simple program that strips all null bytes at the
+  start and end of a file/stdin and outputs that to stdout. Since
+  that s a quite low-level task, it's implemented in C.
+<li><a href="alter-udo-parser">udo-parser 0</a>,
+    <a href="udo-parser">udo-parser 1</a>: Some simple Perl ASCII
+  file parsers that generate byte data to stdout.
+</ul>
