NAME
       libspectrum - Sinclair ZX Spectrum support library

DESCRIPTION
       libspectrum is a library for reading and writing some of the file
       formats used by emulators of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. It also contains
       routines providing information about the various Spectrum clones which
       were available.

       The file formats currently supported by libspectrum are:

       o Snapshots: .z80, .szx, .sna (all read/write), .zxs, .sp., .snp and +D
         snapshots (read only).

       o Tape images: .tzx, .tap, .spc, .sta, .ltp (read/write) and Warajevo
         .tap, Z80Em and CSW version 1 (read only).

       o Input recordings: .rzx (read/write).

       o Disk images: .dsk (both plain and extended), .fdi, .sad, .scl, .td0,
         .trd and .udi (identification only).

       o Timex cartridges: .dck (read only).

       o IDE hard disk images: .hdf (read/write).

       o Microdrive cartridge images: .mdr (read/write).

       Additionally, any files compressed with bzip2(3) or gzip(3) can be read
       and will be transparently decompressed.

       Full documentation for libspectrum is provided in `libspectrum.txt'.
