I don't know about Simon, but I used punch cards for my PL/1 class on a
mainframe. VMS seems to have dropped INPSMB.EXE somewhere along
the way, so I don't think it can start jobs from a card reader any more.

Into the early 2000s, however, I did write tools to process a file, distributed on
CD-ROM, that was literally 80 column card images (distribution on cards stopped
in 1986).  Look up National Bureau of Standards AIDS83 format.
