Call that programming?
I did have one project like that .
We were planning to move from Data General Nova's to spiffing new Motorola Racks, however we could not work out how to transfer the code.
someone came up with the brilliant idea of exporting it via paper tape reader, then reading it in, on a paper tape reader connected to the target machine. Easy enough, except the host machine paper tape was fan-fold while the target was a reel. So we had someone output the paper tape, i had then every day drive 10 miles to the facility to feed in by hand the paper tape into the reader, hoping it would not tear in the process.
I did this for 4 days, then 5 days later the project got cancelled, so it was all in vain
