NAME

       xspect, vgaspect - ZX Spectrum emulator

SYNOPSIS

       xspect [options] [[filetype] filename]

       vgaspect [options] [[filetype] filename]

DESCRIPTION

       Spectemu  is  a  48k  Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator for Linux and other
       UNIX operating systems.

       The program xspect can be started in X11, and  opens  up  a  window  to
       display  the  screen  of  the  Spectrum.  Do  not  start  xspect in the
       background, because it uses the terminal  to  read  filenames,  and  to
       print information on the state of the emulator.

       The  vgaspect  program can only be started on a Linux console, and uses
       the  SVGALIB  library.  On  non  linux  systems  this  program  is  not
       available.

OPERANDS

       For  both  xspect  and  vgaspect  a snapshot file or a tape file can be
       specified on the command line. The file can have the extension  .z80  ,
       .sna , .tap or .tzx (the extension can be ommitted).

       The  option  -help  displays  a  list  of available options. For a more
       complete list, and description see the file README.

       For xspect The following options also have meaning:

       -display DISPLAYNAME
              Open the window on DISPLAYNAME instead of the default

       -name WINDOWNAME
              Change the title of the window to WINDOWNAME

BUGS

       I  try to keep nasty bugs like "Segmentation Fault" out of Spectemu, so
       if you notice one, STEP ON IT! There are some cuter and  gentler  bugs,
       which are kept in Spectemu to amuse the user (see TODO).
