NAME

       snapconv — Sinclair ZX Spectrum snapshot converter

SYNOPSIS

       snapconv [ -c ] [ -n ] [ -f ] 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.

       -h, --help
              give brief usage help, listing available options.

       -V, --version
              output version information.

       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.
