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.
