Looks good… But in the latest version, it appears to be stuck in RAW
format!

It didn’t create an image file, and it’s in RAW format now. BTW, I
thought RAW format accessed a physical device. There’s no device named
“foo.rd54” – why don’t I get an error for that?
Worse, I can’t even make it use simh format anymore –

It’s still in RAW format??!? Is it supposed to be like this?
I suspect that might be ok. What is simh format, really? I mean, it's
just a bunch of blocks, and no extra information in there, unless
something changed since I last looked.
But it looks like simh might have changed how it presents things?
