libspectrum 0.5.0 ================= libspectrum is a library which is designed to make the input and output of ZX Spectrum emulator files slightly easier than it would be otherwise. It should hopefully compile and run on Unix-based systems, Win32 and Mac OS X. Currently supported are: * Snapshots: .z80, .szx, .sna (all read/write), .zxs, .sp., .snp and +D snapshots (read only). * Tape images: .tzx, .tap, .spc, .sta and .ltp (read/write) and Warajevo .tap, Z80Em and CSW version 1 (read only). * Input recordings: .rzx (read/write). * Disk images: .dsk (both plain and extended), .fdi, .sad, .scl, .td0, .trd and .udi (identification only). * Timex cartridges: .dck (read only). * IDE hard disk images: .hdf (read/write). * Microdrive cartridge images: .mdr (read/write). On Unix and Mac OS X, compiling libspectrum should just be as easy as $ ./configure $ make and then `make install' should install it in `/usr/local' ready for use on your system. If you want to install it somewhere other than `/usr/local', give the `--prefix=DIR' option to `configure' to install it under `DIR'. Once installed, some work will probably be necessary to ensure that the linker can find libspectrum. Either read the instructions printed when you do `make install' or ask your local guru.
