You may need to build from source; I suspect that new tape mode
is a fairly recent addition. Package repositories are notorious for
lagging months or years behind, and simh is under fairly rapid
development these days. (thanks Mark!)

Hum ok I compiled simh-master.zip. The source I had I compiled using
gcc was from
http://simh.trailing-edge.com so it might've been old.
This newer one is slower but I see the new help tq attach options.
What do you
mean by "slower". Slower by a second or so to get to an
initial sim> prompt, or slower to execute instructions?

Running on linux starting it up all kinds of printing binary you are
running.
What does "printing binary" mean?
"You'll now notice that later attach operations of
VMS (and most other OS disk images) will announce the disk label
and it's file system size when you attach a disk that has a ODS1,
ODS2, RT11, Ultrix partition table, on it."
This is what I meant by "printing binary". This above is a quote from later in
your message. I meant the binary, the compiled executable, now prints these things you
mentioned. Printing "announcements" of the compiled binary executable, compiled
in ELF in my case.
