----------------------------------------------
convert between Atari 8-bit disk image formats
----------------------------------------------

.. include:: manhdr.rst

SYNOPSIS
========

acvt [**-xfd** | **-atr** | **-scp** | **-dcm** | **-di**] [**-batchmode**] [**-autorepair**] [**-norepair**] [**-errstop**] [**-over**] [**-test**] [**-classic**] *input-file* [*output-file*]

DESCRIPTION
===========

**acvt** converts Atari 8-bit images between various formats. It can
also repair some kinds of problems with broken/corrupted images.

Supported formats are:

  ATR
    Originally defined by SIOPC; the modern standard format.

  XFD
    Originally defined by the XFormer emulator; raw images.

  DCM
    DiskComm (Disk Communicator) images.

  SCP
    SpartaDOS SCOPY images.

  DI
    XL/ST link / XLDJ disk images.

If no *output-file* is given, the filename is created automatically by
replacing the filename extension (e.g. *foo.xfd* becomes *foo.atr*).

If the output file already exists, it will not be overwritten unless
the **-over** option is given.

If the input file is invalid, **acvt** may prompt for a repair method.

OPTIONS
=======

**-xfd**, **-atr**, **-scp**, **-dcm**, **-di**
  Output disk image format. Default is **-atr**.

**-batchmode**
  Multi-file processing mode. Only input files are specified on command-line.
  Regular expressions are allowed. Output filenames are created automatically.

**-autorepair**
  Automatically determines the best repair method (rather than prompting).

**-norepair**
  Doesn't ask for repair options and considers input file invalid if it needs repair.

**-errstop**
  In batch mode, exits on the first error encountered.

**-over**
  Overwrites existing files.

**-test**
  Load input images and display their state, but do not write output.

**-classic**
  Force output to be one of the classic Atari disk sizes (90K, 128K, 180K).
