Happy new year !
Ba2Tap is dos command line utility, this means that if you just click on it's icon, the program will be launch, then a dos window will open showing a description text about how to use the program and then close immediately (you won't have the time to read anything).
Thus, if you want to use Bas2Tap, you have to :
A) Create a batch file in order to launch Bas2Tap
1) create a new text file in the same folder than bas2tap
2)In your text file (with notepad), write this :
the pause instruction is a DOS instruction that asks the user to press a key before continuing the batch commands, it then prevents the dos window to be immediately closed.
3) change the extension of this text file (instead of "NameOfFile.txt", you should have "NameOfFile.bat"
B) double click on your bat file.
The dos window should npw stay opened so that you can read the instructions.
Then, you will have to modify your bat file according to those instructions (right click on it, and chose "modify", you should be able to modify it with notepad ):
Code: Select all
bas2tap -b2t1 [C:\path to ypur source file\]program.bas program.tap
pause
save this, and then, double click on your bat file.
