That's really cool. My first thought after reading it is what it
would take to implement the Commodore tape scheme (since I really
don't have any Kansas City Standard machines but I do have a pile of
C= gear).
That's a cool idea Ethan. I suspect the resulting script would also have
to tokenize the program during the audio stream creation.
If you wanted to take an ASCII file containing a BASIC program, yes,
but not if you had real C= files sitting around on the disk (binary or
tokenized BASIC). Personally, I do a lot of cross-assembly work on
UNIX-y platforms (edit on large screen, compile on the local OS, test
in VICE), so tokenization isn't all that relevant to what I do.
I bet the VICE guys know what the audio format is.
I'm sure they do, and there's documentation and discussions elsewhere
as well (
zimmers.net, cbm-hackers mailing list, the code and docs for
the C2N232, etc).
