Hmm.. this comes up so often, it might be nice to make an
addition to simh to make this easier.  What if, for example,
you could name a directory as a tape image, and it would make
pretend the files (in some predetermined order, either in order
of enumeration or perhaps in some sorted filename order) appeared
sequentially on the tape. It wouldn't have the full generality of
a tape image, but it would be very convenient to use:  just move
a file into the tape dir on the host and then access the tape
form the guest.
