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.

       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.
