### Build procedure
1. First, magnetic tape images are created from files in `src` and
`bin`. There are two bootable tapes, and two tapes with files in
DUMP backup format.
2. Then the tapes are used to create a file system on an RP06 disk and
populate it with a minimal system.
3. Next, the system is booted from the disk. Source code is loaded
from tape, and the following programs are rebuilt:
- MIDAS, the assembler.
- DDT, debugger and HACTRN user login shell.
- The ITS monitor (kernel).
- Exec DDT, standalone debugger.
- NSALV, standalone file system tool.
- DSKDMP, disk bootstrap and file access.
- KSFEDR, manipulate front-end file system.
4. The new DSKDMP is installed, and the rebuilt monitor and salvager
are combined into a new ITS binary, which is then started.
5. Remaining programs are rebuilt.
6. A brand new host table is built from the host table source and
installed into SYSBIN; HOSTS3 > using H3MAKE.
7. Finally, the whole file system is dumped to tape.
