I'd
recommend using VMSTPC to read the tapes, and then using the SIMH tool
(it's in the seperate tools tarball) to change it to a SIMH .TAP file.
I know about VMSTPCE (use it all the time), but its file format is not the
same as simh. A tool to convert, however, would solve all the problems.
Can it convert both ways?
I don't believe it will go both ways, I think it's a one way trip :^(
VMSTPCE uses an RMS file with VFC file organization
to store every tape
record in one file record - it's the "right" way to do it, but
unfortunately
not very portable to other OSes.
At least TPC files are slightly more portable than some formats (RSX-11M+
Virtual Tape comes to mind).
