[Coco] Coco Digest, Vol 204, Issue 24

[Pere Serrat]

Hello Art,
I must say that what we get from internet are the original Spectrum files
and this means a .tap or .sna (tape file or snapshot)
We use a converter program (again in C) that analyzes the snapshot
and creates a script file "GameName.AGD"
Of course we can not expect the converter to create comments as
the AGD commands are very simple and can be used for a lot of different
purposes, some of them a bit tricky upon programmer skills.

I have created a thread in archive .worldofdragon with four examples
and even included the AGD manual.

Any question that should arise, please, feel free to put it on that thread
cheers
pere
