NAME

       hmsa - Atari MSA / ST disk image creator and converter

SYNOPSIS

       hmsa diskimage [disksize]

DESCRIPTION

       Hmsa  is  little  program to create compressed Atari MSA (Magic Shadow Archiver) and uncompressed ST disk images and to convert disk images
       between these two formats.

       MSA and ST image format saving code is same as in Hatari itself.

USAGE

       If you give only one parameter, the file name of an existing MSA or ST disk image, this image will be converted to  the	other  disk  image
       format under a suitable new file name.

       If the file does not exist and you give also a disk size:

       SS     Single Sided (360KB)

       DS     Double Sided (720KB)

       HD     High Density (1.44MB)

       ED     Extended Density (2.88MB)

       An empty disk of the given size will be created.

       Disk image format is recognized based on the file name extension (either .msa or .st).

EXAMPLES

       Create a normal double sided empty ST disk image:
	    hmsa blank.st DS

       Convert an MSA format disk image to an ST format one:
	    hmsa disk.msa
