kc2img(1)

NAME
kc2img - convert KC files to raw KC tape images

SYNOPSIS
kc2img <infile> <outfile>

DESCRIPTION
kc2img converts the following file types to raw KC tape images. Those files contain the data bytes as written by the KC tape routines with block number and checksum removed. So each block is saved as 128 bytes.

Machine code files start with an 128 byte header (one block) that contains filename, load start address, load end address and optionally a start address whose presence is flagged by a status byte. Basic files only have a 13 byte header with filename and filesize.

1) files used by the KC emulator by Arne Fitzenreiter (usually named .TAP)

2) files used by the GEMINI-SOFT KC emulator (usually named .GPF for machine code files and .GBF for basic files)

3) BASIC files (usually named .SSS)

4) KC image files that contain the data written by the KC tape routines without block number and checksum (usually named .KCC or .KCB where the .KCB files are BASIC files with an autostart routine)

BUGS
Basic files are not handled properly.
