The SIMH Users' Guide, section A.3 Magnetic Tapes, says, "SIMH can read TPC-
format magnetic tape images."  The sim_tape.c source has this changelog 
comment:

   28-Mar-03    RMS     Added E11 and TPC format support

...so it appears that TPC support has been present for several versions.  
The manual says that it supports "E11" and "Pierce" formats as well.
