good to see you online again.

Praying you have a fantastic 2026 mate.

Baudot - A 5-bit Stateful Codec:
Baudot is a Python library for encoding and decoding 5-bit stateful encoding. This library is named after Jean-Maurice-Émile Baudot (1845-1903), the French engineer who invented this code. The Baudot code was the first practical and widely used binary character encoding

The last time I used the Baudot was with a telex machine with punched paper tape, just before they became obsolete. About 1985.  :D
I still have a virgin tape.  :o
