  I've now updated the taptools at <http://www.seasip.info/ZX/unix.html> so
that they can generate and manipulate files with IBM PC headers rather than 
Spectrum ones. This means it's possible to get an ASCII listing into a
cassette-only 5150 by doing this:

mkibmtap -n orient.tzx -a orient.bas
playtzx orient.tzx
