+===== Copying MON14.SAV to the disk =====
+Since we don't have KERMIT or other file transfer program on TYMCOM-X, do it with ''FILDDT''.  Two caveats: 1) (SYS)FILDDT does not allow patching of data files, but (MPL)FILDDT does.  2) Patching a zero length file goes only so far before dying with an Address Check.  Since the current (SYS)SYSTEM.SAV is unuseable, patch it instead.
+On TOPS-10, start a Receive ASCII operation and display the whole monitor in octal.

+Edit the saved text to remove the first lines, and change "/" to "!".  The text file is 1.8 Mbytes in size.
+Set the terminal emulator to delay 17 milliseconds between characters for the Send ASCII operation.  Expect it to take 8.5 hours to transfer all that data.
