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  lib-
	    spectrum(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)  sup-
	    ports for output.

BUGS
     None known.
