I have searched and searched and have not found a satisfactory answer
to this question:
How can I efficiently copy files from my host system to unix version
6 running in the pdp11 emulator and from unix 6 to my host system?
I usually do this by just tar'ing to/from a disk file, something like:
on pdp11: tar cf /dev/rxp0c myfiles
on host: tar xf simh-disk-file
Works both ways :-)

This sounded promising, but as it turns out there appear to be 2
problems... 1. v6 doesn't have tar, and 2. it looks like v6 doesn't have
rx device support (floppies). Are you using v6 with tweaks, or v7, or
some other variant of unix?
Well, the tar approach is certainly the most elegant and if tar was available,
converting a raw tar file to a simh tape image back and forth is quite trivial
if you've got a tape device...
So you may be reduced to cutting from the terminal session you are running the
simulator in to get data from the simulator to the host (or the lpt approach
you mentioned).
If you try the latest code at github.com/simh/simh, pasting into the console
terminal or any other supported terminal will now work and you won't be limited
to just a couple of lines pasting at any one time. This is new as of yesterday.

Thanks for the pointer about the updated code. My reaction? Well, I'll
be... wow! I've been an off and on user over the last several years and
yesterday, this vexing problem is fixed? - surreal. This is a huge
improvement and will make it easier to copy and paste. However, at least
on my macbook, when I cat a file with tabs in it and copy and paste that
file, terminal converts the tabs to spaces. I confirmed this using:
cat /usr/source/s1/exit.c | od -c and observing the presence of \t in
the output. If I then cat the file to stdout and copy that into the
copy/paste buffer and do cat > myexit.c pasting it back in and cat that
to od -c, the \t is now a space.
Any ideas on how to preserve the tabs?
Thanks,
Will
