NAME

       tapeout - Output tapefiles to real tape

SYNOPSIS

       tapeout sample_rate tapefile [start_block [output_file]]

DESCRIPTION

       This program lets you copy a tapefile ( .tap or .tzx ) to real tape via
       soundcard.

       You have to connect the soundcard’s  line  out  socket  with  the  tape
       recorder’s mic socket, then start this program.

OPERANDS

       sample_rate
              Sampling  rate  for  the  output. The higher this is, the better
              quality the the result will be. It should be at least 16000.

       tapefile
              Name of the tape file to interpret, and output to the soundcard.
              It should have either .tap or .tzx extension.

       start_block
              Specifies where to start playing the tapefile. Default is 0.

       output_file
              If  given,  the  program  writes the sound output into this file
              instead of the soundcard.
