You have gotten a number of answers, but none of them strikes me as the
best method for what you want to do.

There is a raw 8-bit device (well, pair of devices) on the PDP-11 which
will do the trick:  The paper tape reader/punch.  Simply cat the file onto
a paper tape image, or cat it from a paper tape image into a file.  Won't
care whether it's text or binary.  Won't revise the content to match a
display (\t will stay \t).

I've used this in the past.  It works.
