liba8cas, a library for reading and writing tapes for Atari 8-bit computers
Version 1.5.0

This package contains sources of the A8CAS library. The library provides
support for reading and writing tapes used by Atari 8-bit computers.

There is support for reading and writing to sound files containing audio
recordings of real tapes. All audio formats supported by libsndfile are
available for reading and writing; the notable ones are WAV, Ogg/Vorbis
(read-only) and FLAC (read-only). Creating new tapes is only posible in WAV.
(This is likely to change in future releases).

There is also support for non-audio based file formats: CAS, HEX, FSK, and
raw files. See the A8CAS homepage for details.

In all formats it is possible to read and write data. Data can be read or
written as single MARK/SPACE signals, or as whole bytes (in case of standard
blocks of data).

Rewinding (to the beginning of any tape record, or in case of sound files - to
any sample) is supported.

Files can also be opened in "read-write" mode, which allows to write data,
then rewind to a different, then read data, etc. etc. So it is possible to
operate virtual tape files just like real cassettes.

Support for tapes with separate audio track is provided, however currently
only in sound files. Creation of CAS/HEX/FSK files with audio track is
not yet possible.

There is also support for tape turbo systems. Currently only
reading turbo tapes works. A turbo program can be read from a CAS or HEX file,
and there is also experimental support for reading from sound files.
