1) The readme is out-of-date, and unreadable on github 2) Some tools have their own directories, some don't 3) Many tools have neither readme nor descriptions. 4) Some files are misplaced This reorganizes so that each tool has its own directory, even if it only has a single file (Hint: If you use a tool, please add/update READMEs) The master README is complete, and readable on github The tools are in alphabetical order within category. There are some cases where this probably isn't the right thing to do, e.g. where there are separate tools that do "to" and "from" conversions. Each tool has at least a 1-line description in the master readme This commit does not change any tool.

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. |
