The reason is I learn "languages" best when it is adapted to something I am interested in.

"Banging the metal" is my forte and the AudioScope is an example of my abilities, albeit with a somewhat primitive coding style presently.

Any language that can create a BASIC interpreter no matter how small usually has some tricks up its sleeve(s), and this is the main reason.

I respect those coders who can create OSes, (I am a member of MikeOS), and have contributed HW related stuff:-

MikeOS - simple x86 assembly language operating system

One being a modified USB KB to give a slow serial I/O for a BIOS only OS.

Also those who can create compilers and interpreters get my vote too.

When studying the code for these things I learn a great deal.

UNIX style shell scripting is my new "platform" FTTB and with your input I am learning complex stuff very quickly. I still search continuously via Google for strange requirements for the Scope and enjoy every minute of it.

You have inadvertently become my mentor and all I can say is thanks...

Now you know... ;o)

NAME
kc2img - convert KC files to raw KC tape images SYNOPSIS
kc2img <infile> <outfile> DESCRIPTION
kc2img converts the following file types to raw KC tape images. Those files contain the data bytes as written by the KC tape routines with block number and checksum removed. So each block is saved as 128 bytes. Machine code files start with an 128 byte header (one block) that contains filename, load start address, load end address and optionally a start address whose presence is flagged by a status byte. Basic files only have a 13 byte header with filename and filesize. 1) files used by the KC emulator by Arne Fitzenreiter (usually named .TAP) 2) files used by the GEMINI-SOFT KC emulator (usually named .GPF for machine code files and .GBF for basic files) 3) BASIC files (usually named .SSS) 4) KC image files that contain the data written by the KC tape routines without block number and checksum (usually named .KCC or .KCB where the .KCB files are BASIC files with an autostart routine) BUGS
Basic files are not handled properly. SEE ALSO
