RSX11M+ teco?

[Andy Valencia]

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.

That is because it isn't that easy. RSX understands ANSI format tapes.
You can find tools to deal with such tapes if you search.
But a part of the problem also becomes that RSX files can have various
meta-information that usually gets lost if you move the files over to
other systems. It's just a headache.

Best is to transfer directly from RSX to RSX, using FTP.

Install the RPM system on your machine, and then you can install TECO
from RPM.
