It's been a long time since I looked at this code. There's a lot of new stuff now, and it is more reliable on less-than-perfect tapes. It only works on program files, not on data files. It is not endian safe or 64 bit safe. I am not a C programmer. It compiles on windows with Cygwin. Type: ./viccas -h for the options. To build the program in linux, type make. (In cygwin I used 'gcc -o viccas.exe viccas.c') The program assumes your audio device is /dev/dsp. (of course, it will take much longer to decode a file while listening to it. on my K6-3/400, a 4k file decodes in about 3.5 seconds without audio playback. If you listen to it, it decodes in real time.) If you make changes/improvements to this program, please send me your modifications. I would especially like to see someone make it 64bit and endian safe. Most of all, have fun. -srw scott@saskatoon.com
