RSX11M+ teco?

What's the path of least resistance for getting teco onto a simh
disk image RSX-11M+ install? I got a disk image for the pi, and it
works quite well--but lacks teco, alas.

I have the latest/greatest source dump of DECUS teco, but if somebody
could just point to a .tsk, that would probably be much simpler.

Thanks in advance!

Johnny Billquist's net-attached RSX11 machine is like the
Library of Alexandria of RSX11 software! I have the bits,
including a Kermit which I'll use in the future to move bits
off and onto my RSX11 system disk. But how do I get these
initial bits on? I assume I create a .tap file and attach
it to simh. But how do I assemble the .tap's contents?

There's lots of utilities to convert between different emulator's
tape file formats. But I just am not spotting the "put these files
onto a tape for RSX" or "conver this .tar to a .tap file usable
from RSX"?

I know how to generate a tape, without labels, in SIMH format. I don't
know how easy it is to read that on RSX.
