tzxcleanupThe only purpose of this tool is to post-process and clean up TZX files that have been just generated by a tape converter. It will set idealized timings for ZX Spectrum blocks where applicable. It will remove all unnecessary blocks, like comment blocks or (optionally) blocks with a bad CRC.
The result might not be loadable at all, so be careful and keep a backup of the original file.
It is not necessary to use this tool on the output of tzxwav, as it wouldn’t change anything.
Use tzxcut to manually clean up all kind of TZX files.
This tool also accepts a TAP file. It is converted to TZX format internally.
