NAME
snap2tzx - Convert ZX Spectrum snapshot to .tzx tape images SYNOPSIS
snap2tzx [-1 string] [-2 string] [-b colour] [-g string] [-l string] [-o filename] [-r] [-s speed] [-v] [-$ filename] snapshot DESCRIPTION
snap2tzx converts a ZX Spectrum snapshot into a .tzx tape image. OPTIONS
-1 string causes string (which has a maximum of 32 characters) to be shown while loading. -2 string causes string (maximum 32 characters) to also be shown while loading. -b colour specifies the border colour while loading. -g string causes string (maximum 32 characters) to be used as the game name while loading. -l string causes string (maximum 8 characters) to be used as the BASIC filename in the loader. -o filename causes the output to be sent to filename. -r causes the final line of attribute data in the loading screen to be bright. -s speed specifies the speed of the loader; available values for speed are 0 (1500 bps), 1 (2250 bps), 2 (3000 bps) and 3 (6000 bps). -v specifies verbose output. -$ filename specifies that the ZX Spectrum screen stored in filename should be used as the loading screen. snapshot specifies the snapshot (in a format supported by libspectrum(3)) to be converted. In any string parameter, the tilde (~) will be converted into a copyright symbol. BUGS
