NAME

       snapconv - Sinclair ZX Spectrum snapshot converter

SYNOPSIS

       snapconv [ -c ] [ -n ] infile outfile

DESCRIPTION

       snapconv converts between ZX Spectrum snapshot files.

OPTIONS

       -c     specifies  that  all data in the output snapshot should be compressed, even if that compression will result in a bigger file than if
	      some data is left uncompressed. This helps compatibility with some buggy programs that can only read entirely compressed .z80 files.

       -n     specifies that the output snapshot should be uncompressed.

       -f     specifies that the A and F and A' and F' registers should be swapped.  Version 0.5.0 and older of  libspectrum(3)  had  a  bug  that
	      resulted	in  these registers being swapped in SZX snapshots only. Version 0.5.1 and newer of libspectrum(3) automatically recognise
	      these snapshots and correct the problem, but this flag is necessary to fix some snapshots created by development	versions  only	of
	      libspectrum(3) which had the bug fixed, but cannot be distinguished from snapshots containing the bug.

       infile specifies the snapshot to be converted. This file can be in any of the snapshot formats supported by libspectrum(3).

       outfile
	      specifies  the  output snapshot. The format will be determined by the file extension and can be in any of the formats libspectrum(3)
	      supports for output.

BUGS

       None known.

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

       None known.
