This brings up another question. Does anyone have any
method of getting
data into SIMH that doesn't require PUTR? As PUTR requires MS-DOS (though
it seems to work under WinXP), it's a bit of a problem.
PUTR is written in MACRO iirc, and is not portable.
Its stuck to MS-DOS, or those OS's that can emulate MS-DOS
to the hardware level.
I usually use kermit for RSTS/E and sometimes for VMS,
FTP for VMS and BSD. You have to be careful to set up
kermit parameters carefully, though, or it overflows buffers
and barfs.
I've also been known to use cut-and-paste on xterms for
small files, used tape images, and an unformatted simulated
tape drive a couple of times.
