I know about VMSTPCE (use it all the time), but its file format is not the
same as simh. A tool to convert, however, would solve all the problems.
Can it convert both ways?
VMSTPCE uses an RMS file with VFC file organization to store every tape
record in one file record - it's the "right" way to do it, but unfortunately
not very portable to other OSes.
