[Simh] Announcement: back10

[Tim Stark]

Thanks for publishing this.  I was able compile it into executable file on MinGW64/MSYS environments for Windows without any problems.
With MinGW64 compiler, it just complaint missing utsname.h include file.  With MSYS compiler, it worked fine.

I was able extract dskaa.sav file from KLAD tape image. I examined contents but I have a question for it.

Can back10 handle binary files for extracts and backups?  What kind of format does extracted binary file use?  I need good SAV files to debug my MSE emulator (KS10 emulation).

Does anyone know FTP high density format that I am looking for?  I only know core-dump and ANSI formats for PDP10 tape formats according to back10 source codes.

Thanks,

I have spent some time recently on updating my program(s) to handle
Tops-10 backup tape images, and I am now at the stage when it seems to work "good enough", so I decided to release this as a beta test.

  http://www.pdc.kth.se/~bygg/tops/back10.tar

The basic things work, it can create (-c), do directory (-t) and extract files (-x), and it reads tapes with large blocks, like the TSU tapes.

This is very much a work-in-progress, so things might change.  If you have any opinion on how things should work, please let me know.
