While there are many documentation links (thanks), I haven't had to handle punchcards and drums for decades. Therefore, could you be a bit more explicit for a simple example program to run as a start? From the user perspective, I'd like to run "hello world" as an example. Probably as some early FORTRAN (II ?) variant as F90 was of course not for the IBM704 at the time :) What are steps to make that run and print "hello world"?

C HELLO WORLD
implicit none
write ( *, * ) ' Hello, world!'
end

or

program hello
implicit none
write(,) 'Hello world!'
end program hello

Probably first you need to simulate punch cards, produce a .tap file, and feed that via the config.xml and run. Taking us through such an example would help IMHO. In any case, great work and any help appreciated.
PS: I know there is your tools repository but there you start with "load the YALE so and so tape". Therefore, it seems some simple steps or examples are missing?
PS2: Same question for some IBM704 assembler input like "add 2 + 3 to produce 5, with 2 and 3 as data input, CLA, .. ) but we can discuss that in another thread.
