John Forecast b08ebe8eb0 New tape manipulation tools
rawtap	Allows extract, create and append operations on .tap files.

cpytap	Copies a .tap file to a new .tap file while allowing file level edits; skip file, replace file,
		append files and insert files. Any files copied from the original source .tap will have
		their internal record structure maintained.

cosy		COSY is the compressed format used by the CDC1700. This program allows for
		extraction of all files from an archive and the creation of a new archive. It assumes
		that you would have used raw tap about to have extracted the COSY file from a
		tape.

dbtap	Utility to read, write and list .tap containers written in the DOS/BATCH-11 format. It
		understands ascii and binary modes and can be used to transfer files in and out of
		most PDP-11 operating systems (not sure about RSTS/E), early VMS and early
		TOPS-10 systems.

#simh support/migration tools.

The tools are organized into categories, each of which has a subdirectory.

For consistency, each tool has its own subdirectory, even if it only contains a single file. (READMEs for tools without them are welcome)

Configuration support

Tools to assist with configuring a simulator.

Directory Contents
config11 Calculate the floating address space layout of a PDP-11 or VAX.

Converters

Tools that convert/support simulator data file formats

Directory Contents
asc Convert ASCII file line endings
decsys Convert decimal listing file to a DECtape file
dtos8cvt Convert a PDP-8 DECtape image from OS/8 format to simulator format.
gt7cvt Convert a gt7 magtape dump to a SIMH magtape
