Write in the preferred SimH format. Convert to tpc only if necessary.
tpc is supported by SImH mainly for reading tapes from other sources. Most emulators will read SimH, but you can convert with external tools if necessary. Actually, it's better to convert TPC to TAP even for reading; SImH has to create an in-memory map of where all the records are when it attaches a TPC tape. This is required for backspacing and read reverse... It's cheaper to convert the file once.
