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
between 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
SEE ALSO
Hmsa is part of hatari.
