That's exactly what I do. I use this
<https://github.com/Alhadis/Roff-Character-Tests/blob/cefd35c189cc34c55ac79bb6e1838cf0907e7776/bytes.c>
to "import" binary files in a running SIMH session, and this
<https://github.com/Alhadis/.files/blob/80dff841eefc98ccd4fc848c747a7585c68bec1a/bin/od-to-binary>
to unpack the output of `od -b` (which I copy+paste from my terminal).

It feels amateurish and hacky, so I've recently been reading up on SIMH
configuration and if there's a way of "mounting" a directory on the host
system so that files can be shared with a running SIMH session (a la,
VirtualBox). I'll let you know if I succeed...
