little more detailed here. The file is a SimH format of the
a tape. But the tape itself has been formatted by the
application on the OS that wrote it.</div>

UNIX "dump" format tape you need: something to under the
SimH format and create a bytes stream to push into a program
that understand the UNIX restore format - which also means
you might have NUXI issues depend on the simulator that
wrote it, since dump writes integers in native formats in
the metadata.</div>
