NAME
     hmsa - Atari MSA / ST disk image creator and converter

SYNOPSIS
     hmsa diskimage [disksize]

DESCRIPTION
     Hmsa  is  little  program	to  create  compressed	Atari  MSA (Magic Shadow
     Archiver) and uncompressed ST disk images and to convert  disk  images  be-
     tween these two formats.

     MSA and ST image format saving code is same as in Hatari itself.

USAGE
     If you give only one parameter, the file name of an existing MSA or ST disk
     image,  this image will be converted to the other disk image format under a
     suitable new file name.

     If the file does not exist and you give also a disk size:

     SS     Single Sided (360KB)

     DS     Double Sided (720KB)

     HD     High Density (1.44MB)

     ED     Extended Density (2.88MB)

     An empty disk of the given size will be created.

     Disk image format is recognized based on the file	name  extension  (either
     .msa or .st).

EXAMPLES
     Create a normal double sided empty ST disk image:
	  hmsa blank.st DS

     Convert an MSA format disk image to an ST format one:
	  hmsa disk.msa
