hubertf 303b1c7490 This patch adds references to the main punched card, paper tape and
Morse code standards to the bcd(6) manpage (which also serves as the
manpages ppt(6) and morse(6)).

(The only one of these standards I have read is the ECMA-10 paper tape
standard, which is also probably the least readily available, since
ECMA don't supply copies of obsolete standards, though they will
supply printed copies of any or all of their current standards at no
charge.)
