- Type: misc/emu
-
- TapSlice converts a TAP file into a series of header and bytes files for use
- with Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulators.
-
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- TapSlice is used as follows:
-
- TapSlice <tapfile> [<destdir>]
-
- <tapfile> is the name of the TAP file, <destdir> is optional and is the name
- of the destination directory for the header and bytes files. If <destdir>
- isn't given, the files are put in the current directory. For example,
-
- TapSlice game.tap T:
-
- will take every spectrum file in 'game.tap' and save them as header and
- bytes files in 'T:'. To use these files, see the emulator's documentation.
-
-
- Notes
- -----
-
- If possible, the created files are given their internal spectrum names with
- the appropriate extension added. Any leading spaces in a spectrum file name
- are removed.
-
- If two or more spectrum files in the TAP file have the same name then a
- numeric extension is added. For example, if the name 'assembler' occurs
- three times, the bytes files will be called 'assembler.bytes',
- 'assembler_2.bytes' and 'assembler_3.bytes'. TapSlice can handle a maximum
- of 99 spectrum files with the same name; any further duplicates will use the
- '_99' extension again.
-
- Headerless files and files with blank names are named 'unnamed.bytes',
- 'unnamed_2.bytes' and so on.

- Distribution

- TapSlice is freeware. It may be distributed freely as long as it is
- accompanied by this file.
