Sinclair ZX Spectrum Emulator 'Z80' v3.03 - 29/12/94 - by G.A. Lunter 'Z80' is a shareware program. The program is not completely functional, and the parts which are left out are included when you register. You are encouraged to give this demo version to friends, but DO NOT change the original archive in any way, please. The shareware version of the emulator consists of the Z80-303.ZIP archive file, which should contain the following 11 files: Z80.EXE - The emulator Z80.INI - Default initialisation file Z80.PIF - Program Info File to run 'Z80' under Windows 3.1 Z80.ICO - Windows icon Z80.DOC - Documentation file Z80FAQ.DOC - Frequently asked questions - and answers! REGISTER.DOC - This file NEW.DOC - The What's New file ROMS.BIN - Various ROM images LAYOUT.SCR - Keyboard lay-out help screen DIAGRAM.Z80 - Circuit diagram for tape interface, and calibration The shareware version of the emulator differs from the registered version in the following respects: it cannot be slowed down, it cannot load from or save to tape, and it does not emulate the DISCiPLE and the Plus D interfaces. Everything else works as in the registered version. If you register, you get the fully working version, and the following utilities: CONVERT - a general conversion program: can list out BASIC and tranlate it back, produce .GIF or .PCX files from screen dumps, translate Spectrum ASCII (CR) to PC ASCII (CR/LF), and some other things. CONVZ80 - Translates various snapshot and tape formats of other Spectrum emulators into each other. Can handle the familiar .SNA format use by several emulators (JPP, XZX,...), and also Pedro Gimeno's (VGASPEC and SPECTRUM) .SP format and Kevin J. Phairs' (SPECEM) .PRG format. It can also handle tape files of SPECEM and L. Rindt and E. Brukner's emulator ZX. DISCIPLE - Reads DISCiPLE and Plus D diskettes, both 3.5'' and 5.25''. It translates the 48K and 128K snapshot files to .Z80 snapshots, and ordinary files and screen snapshots to .TAP tape files. (Not necessary for the fully registered version, but handy for the cheaper one.) Z802TAP - Converts a .Z80 snapshot, 48K or 128K, to a .TAP file which can be loaded into the emulator and saved to tape by the next utility: TAP2TAPE - Saves the contents of a .TAP file back to tape, to load it into an ordinary Spectrum. TAP2VOC - Converts a .TAP file to a .VOC sound sample file, to write to tape, or to load into the emulator. READVOC - Reads in a long, 'digital' .VOC sound sample, to be used as input to the emulator, from the LPT tape interface or a SoundBlaster. OUT2VOC - Converts .OUT log files into .VOC or raw sound sample files, so that you can easily extract music samples from Spectrum/Spectrum 128 games, or SAVE directly to a .VOC or raw sample file. Z80DUMP - Shows the header and the contents of a .Z80 file. You will also receive the source files of the emulator, the above utilities and the SamRam, and you will be kept informed about future updates. You can also choose to register for the emulator without DISCiPLE and Plus D emulation, if you are not interested in those parts. The registration fee is a bit lower then, and you will receive everything stated above (including the DISCIPLE program), the only difference being that you get a version of the emulator that will not emulate the M.G.T. interfaces. There are several registration sites, the main one being B.G. Services in the U.K. You can also register with me in the Netherlands, or with Jimaz in the Czech Republic, with Sinclair Freakeren in Denmark, David Pomeroy in New Zealand and with FriendWare in Spain, whichever is most convenient.
