SYNOPSISsnapconv [ -c ] [ -n ] [ -f ] infile outfile
DESCRIPTIONsnapconv converts between ZX Spectrum snapshot files.
OPTIONS-c specifies that all data in the output snapshot should be com‐
pressed, 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 ver‐
sions 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 libspec‐
trum(3) supports for output.
BUGS
None known.
