Recent SIMH list traffic has emphasized the need for good software for handling simulated tape devices, because most early machines had little or no support for intercomputer networking, except via slow serial line transfers, such as supported by the kermit program.
I was under the mistaken impression that we had long ago put one of our tape programs on our Web site, but that seems not to have been the case. I have therefore remedied that regrettable omission by the creation today of this new Web site: TPUTIL: DECsystem 20 TOPS-20 Tape Utility for Blocked Portable Tapes ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/dec/tops-20/ http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/dec/tops-20/ That site contains links to another program for reading TOPS-20 dumper filesystem backup tapes on other operating systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
