============================== F E A T U R E S ==============================

This program converts 'BASIC in an ASCII file' to a TAP tape image file, to be
used in a ZX Spectrum emulator. Both 48K and 128K listings are supported.

============================ R E Q U I R E M E N T ==========================

BAS2TAP tested and worked fine on the following configurations:

- IcarOS i386               (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0)
- AROS One i386             (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0)

================================= U S A G E =================================

  BAS2TAP [-q] [-w] [-e] [-c] [-aX] [-sX] FileIn [FileOut]

-q  goes into quiet mode, suppressing banner and progress indication.
-w  suppress generation of warnings.
-e  write errors to the stdout in stead of the stderr stream.
-c  makes token matching case independant. The drawback is that variables that
    have the same name as a token (eg. 'print') cannot be used, as they will be
    treated as (unexpected) tokens.
-n  disables syntax checking.
-aX sets the auto-start line to line X.
-sX sets the TAP block name to X (max 10 characters).

If no output filename is provided, the same name as the input file will be
used, but with extension `.TAP'.

For example:

1.AROS> bas2tap -a10 Example/Multi.basic RAM:Multi.tap
