We have just as many errors on this side of the pond as you guys have the other side.
Update, I copied the E8 files into simH and they assembled, the program would not run, but there were no assemble errors. So, I wanted to compare the original E8 files to that was what I got into the PDP8E. Turns out when I used EDIT, I would get 14 or 15 blocks, which equates to between 1/3 or 1/2 of the the original file. I then tried PIP and all I could get was about 3 blocks, but the code was not continuous. So this is the reason I was getting errors, not all the code was there. The next thing I want to try is to make even smaller files to transfer and try to see if I can get 'all' code into the PDP8E.
Not sure why PIP will not receive more, but I believe that EDIT is limited to the size of the input buffer, more to come, Thanks, Mike
