Others have pointed out the historical use of the word, but there are modern uses: hymns. Both old ones, and new ones written to sound old (which is weird but happens). Also, the King James Version of the Bible, which lots of people still insist on using despite it being objectively terrible.

Hey, I never said they were good uses.

For what it's worth, I'm getting the same answers as everyone else.

I'm pretty sure anyone that can create a NAPLPS emulator or parser can add in artificial delays.

I was thinking that, too. Yesterday I even went as far as looking up a description of the protocol before remembering I already have too many interesting projects I'm working on.

I did that too! I thought it was bit too complicated for me though. :(

You know, it only now occurred to me now to search github. There are two existing projects. One has a few moving pieces and uses a software tool from the era, but seems well documented. The other looks like it writes straight to web browser if you have a file in the NAPLPS format. Sample page provided by author: https://n1ckfg.github.io/Telidon/
