NAME

       tapeout - Output tapefiles to real tape

SYNOPSIS

       tapeout sample_rate tapefile [start_block [output_file]]

DESCRIPTION

       This program lets you copy a tapefile ( .tap or .tzx ) to real tape via soundcard.

       You  have  to connect the soundcard's line out socket with the tape recorder's mic socket,
       then start this program.

OPERANDS

       sample_rate
              Sampling rate for the output. The higher this is, the better quality the the result
              will be. It should be at least 16000.

       tapefile
              Name  of  the  tape  file to interpret, and output to the soundcard. It should have
              either .tap or .tzx extension.

       start_block
              Specifies where to start playing the tapefile. Default is 0.

       output_file
              If given, the program writes the  sound  output  into  this  file  instead  of  the
              soundcard.
