The Fuse utilities version 1.0.0 ================================ The Fuse utilities are a few tools which may be of occasional use when dealing with ZX Spectrum emulator files. They were originally distributed with Fuse, the Free Unix Spectrum Emulator, but are now independent of Fuse and can be used on their own. The available utilities are: * audio2tape: convert an audio file to tape format. * createhdf: create an empty .hdf IDE hard disk image. * listbasic: list the BASIC in a snapshot or tape file. * profile2map: convert Fuse profiler output to Z80-style map format. * raw2hdf: create a .hdf IDE hard disk image from another file. * rzxcheck: verify the digital signature in an RZX file. * rzxdump: list the contents of an RZX input recording file. * rzxtool: add, extract or remove the embedded snapshot from an RZX file, or compress or uncompress the file. * scl2trd: convert .scl disk images to .trd disk images. * snap2tzx: convert snapshots to TZX tape images. * snapconv: convert between snapshot formats. * tape2wav: convert a tape file to .wav audio format. * tapeconv: convert between .tzx and .tap files. * tzxlist: list the contents of a TZX file. In order to use the utilities, you'll need `libspectrum' installed; this is available from: http://fuse-emulator.sourceforge.net/libspectrum.php If you want to deal with compressed RZX files, you'll also need `zlib' installed. Once you've got any libraries installed, building the utilities should be as simple as: $ ./configure $ make and then $ make install By default, the utilities will be installed in `/usr/local', so you'll probably have to be root to do the last step. If you want to change this, give the `--prefix=DIR' option to `configure' to install them under `DIR'. The latest version of the utilities should always be available from http://fuse-emulator.sourceforge.net/fuse.php Please send any bug reports, comments, etc to me. Compiling from Subversion ------------------------- If you're using version of fuse-utils from Subversion rather than one of the released tarballs, you'll need to run `autogen.sh' before running 'configure' for the first time.
