tar2mt converts a tar file to a simh .tap tape image. .tap format tape images have the format 4 byte record length 1 record 1 repeat of 4 byte record length 1 4 byte record length 2 record 2 repeat of 4 byte record length 2 : 4 bytes = 00000000 for end of file and so on. This is the tape format expected by simh, Tim Stark's TS10, and John Wilson's E11. tar2mt is invoked by tar2mt {-b blocksize} file1 file2 file3... blocksize defaults to 8192. Each file in turn is converted from a tar file to a .tap tape image. The input file can have any extension; the converted file will have a .tap extension.
