What is it ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tapefit is a simple(ish) utility that attempts to find the best possible
arrangement of a given set of tracks on a cassette of a given length. It
will try to make both sides as full as possible, but leave the end of side 2
blank if there are insufficient tracks to fill the whole tape. If there are
more tracks than will fit, the best fitting ones will be chosen.
RISC OS 2
~~~~~~~~~
Although I haven't been able to test it, the command line program should
run under RISC OS 2. The Wimp front end is RISC OS 3+ only I'm afraid.
If the tapefit executable won't run, you could always try recompiling the
source under RISC OS 2. If there's any demand, I'll write a RISC OS 2
front end [I'll need someone with RO2 to test it].
Command Line
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside !TapeFit is the executable 'tapefit'. This can be used without
the front end, simply copy it to somewhere on your Run$Path (eg. your
Library directory). It's probably best to run tapefit in a taskwindow,
so you can save the results to a file. See the document 'CLusage'
inside !TapeFit for details of command line usage.
Please read the !Help file carefully, especially the Licence and Disclaimer.
