Indeed. That also works. But it is really problematic when copying
data into
the simulator, since this goes through the OS terminal driver, which
have
limitations. Pasting in data often leads to data loss in my
experience. But
copying out works fine.
Actually, copying data into a simulator with paste has improved vastly
recently.
10's of Kbytes of data pasted at once without data loss. Give it a try.
Uh? Really. How recent do I need it to be then?
I'm on:

I doubt simh can do much more, except if I manage to get some delay
involved, as it looks like the RSX terminal driver gets overflowed.
The end result is the same, though. You basically can't paste that much
into simh.
Sorry, the pasting example managed to get reproduced wrong. When I did
the paste, I did not include the command, nor the header output. No need
to redo that here, I just wanted to point out that this was my mistake,
if someone reacts that the start of the two pastes are not the same.
