Yes, that's the original source of the BUILD.PA that I used.
Compiled fine on OS/8.
For that pack, I re-compiled BUILD from source in order to get it
to work
when building a RL02 image.
Did you use BUILD.PA available from here?
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-8/os8/os8.…
I tried using palbart to assemble it and got numerous errors. Haven't
tried
it with PAL8 yet. On a related note, what's the easiest way to
transfer a large swath of
text, like BUILD.PA, to OS/8 through the console TTY?
Smaller files:
.R PIP
FILE.PA<TTY:/A
Then just feed it. PIP appears to give up at some point, so I split and
rejoin. Painful.
Or, use the Kermit-12 utilities to pack and unpack.
For SIMH, I use putr.com to copy files to a disk image, with putr
running in dosbox on a Linux system.

And, how do you get Kermit onto the machine in the first place? That's
the catch, isn't it? If you have Kermit you can transfer arbitrary
binaries, but transferring kermit.sv isn't going to be transferred that
way. So, you use what I mentioned: the K12ENC and K12DEC utilities that
come with Kermit. Those allows arbitrary files to be transferred as
they're encoded along the way.
Or, push the source a bit at a time (as above), compile, and hope it
wasn't corrupted. That's why the encoded forms are better.

Well, when I had to do it in about 1989, I just ordered a 9mm tape
from Lancaster University.
