In case you wonder who wrote this, well I did. I started it when I worked for Philips (Electronics Company). Our plant was taken over by Digital (Computer Company) so then I was all of a sudden a Digital employe (sorry, it didn't help much for my English I'm afraid). Now I found a new job myself, so now, I now work for Ericsson (Telecom Company). Now Ericsson is Swedish so you can guess what will happen to my English now (ever seen the Swedish cook on the Muppets show... :-) :-) ). Neither Philips nor Digital nor Ericsson have anything to do with this software (the don't even know it exists!), complain to me if you have problems. Note that I can not be forced to do anything about it, so you are just lucky if I will make updates. You can of course modify it yourself, it's not illegal because I made it Public Domain. This means nobody owns it and you can do with it as you see fit. This also means that nobody can be blamed for screwing up your system, not even me! So if you think I hid a nasty HD-formating program in this software than don't use it! If you change something that might be usefull for others please tell me! I may include it in future versions. If you help me in any way than I will put your name in the docs as a reward - unless you don't want it of course! ------------- SKIP the next section if you don't know about PGP ------------- You can always check if the binary is from me using spconv.sig. You need PGP (Pretty Good Privacy version 2 or better) for this, type: 'pgp spconv.sig spconv.exe'. You'll need a trusted public key from me, I have included my public key here but you need a independent key to be sure that I am who I appear to be. You can get my key from various PGP key-servers - info about this is is packed with pgp, pgpshell and pgpfront. If you use PGP you'll probably know about this already. You can also send me a message using this key, I can tell you if this is my key - not secure but better than nothing. By the way I used PGP2.6.i to create these keys. --------- END of SKIP the next section if you don't know about PGP ---------- Please don't ask me to make the converter work for .TAP files, I will not because you need an emulator for that. The Shareware Z80-201.zip or newer will convert .TAP files to .Z80 for you, you can take if from there with this converter to any of the other formats. If you want to E-mail me, my current address is: Henk de Groot, hegr@ensae.ericsson.se If you want to mail me privately use PGP (Pretty Good Privacy from Phil Zimmermann) if it contains material for me only (like snapshots or a message for verification of the public key so you can check spconv.exe with spconv.sig) My public PGP key: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.i mQBNAizK3zcAAAECANa+YU5JTlRibS0wM3bqtgYpmnHI8377Z8gt1ErRa1zot/2f oa/FG6VVONYDs9s067IzVTU5qYDZmrGVwMaayAEABRG0JkhlbmsgZGUgR3Jvb3Qg PGhlZ3JAZW5zYWUuZXJpY3Nzb24uc2U+tCFIZW5rIGRlIEdyb290IDxncm9vdEBh cGQuZGVjLmNvbT60KUhlbmsgZGUgR3Jvb3QgPGdyb290QGlkY2EudGRzLnBoaWxp cHMubmw+ =U9FR -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Good luck with this software!
