There's a standard readme which describes (with holes) now to install it
from tape.  Basically you boot off the tape.  I have the tape image
somewhere.  I think I also have a simh ra82 image of 0c.  it's 20mb
compressed.  It's in a directory with a simh config, so it might even
work :-) I can try if you like.

If you have the images it's easy to write a shell script to reconstruct
the tape image.

At one time I had his whole cvs tree.  The machine it's on is at my
office and we just had a big snow storm, so it might be monday before I
can check.  I would think others would have it also.

I'd be happy to host it on my web site. (but I'd think bitsavers would
also be a good place)
