Not yet, although it would be rather trivial to add such an option to
"c2n".
I used C-Kermit. I set the line parameters to 38400,8N1, set
carrier-watch off, log session, connect. Then I issued the *S command
on the VIC-20, got PRESS RECORD&PLAY ON TAPE, and typed ctrl-A on the
terminal program. I got the raw data in a file "session.log".
I computed the pulse width histogram with something like "perl -e
'while(<>){s/(.)/$1\n/g;print}' < session.log | sort | uniq -c >
histogram.txt". That file had to be viewed in Emacs, as the two
narrowest short pulses were non-printable characters, 0x1e and 0x1f
(30 and 31 times 8 microseconds, respectively).
Using the histogram, I determined what kind of pulse widths there are.
Then I translated the data in session.log to printable characters B,
C, D to be able to analyze the data.
If you can produce a raw dump (what I call "session.log" above), I can
analyze the format from it.
