NAME

6       snapconv — Sinclair ZX Spectrum snapshot converter
7

SYNOPSIS

9       snapconv [ -c ] [ -n ] [ -f ] infile outfile
10

DESCRIPTION

12       snapconv converts between ZX Spectrum snapshot files.
13

OPTIONS

15       -c     specifies  that  all  data in the output snapshot should be com‐
16              pressed, even if that compression will result in a  bigger  file
17              than if some data is left uncompressed. This helps compatibility
18              with some buggy programs that can only read entirely  compressed
19              .z80 files.
20
21       -n     specifies that the output snapshot should be uncompressed.
22
23       -f     specifies  that  the  A  and F and A' and F' registers should be
24              swapped.  Version 0.5.0 and older of libspectrum(3)  had  a  bug
25              that  resulted in these registers being swapped in SZX snapshots
26              only. Version 0.5.1 and newer  of  libspectrum(3)  automatically
27              recognise these snapshots and correct the problem, but this flag
28              is necessary to fix some snapshots created by  development  ver‐
29              sions only of libspectrum(3) which had the bug fixed, but cannot
30              be distinguished from snapshots containing the bug.
31
32       -h, --help
33              give brief usage help, listing available options.
34
35       -V, --version
36              output version information.
37
38       infile specifies the snapshot to be converted. This file can be in  any
39              of the snapshot formats supported by libspectrum(3).
40
41       outfile
42              specifies  the output snapshot. The format will be determined by
43              the file extension and can be in any  of  the  formats  libspec‐
44              trum(3) supports for output.
