zmakebas converts text files containing Sinclair Spectrum Basic
programs (as plain old ASCII) into tokenised Basic saved in .TAP
format, ready to run on an emulator or the real thing. It also
optionally provides labels as an alternative to line numbers. It's
mainly for Unix/Linux but should be fairly portable.
There are various versions of zmakebas around nowadays with varying
version numbers, and I am deliberately staying out of the way of that.
This version 1.2a is just a bugfix release for my old version 1.2. It
fixes bugs related to DEF FN, VAL$, line lengths, and buffer overruns.
The web page is here:

And if anyone wants to know *why* this update had to be made now, look at the latest entry (#33) on the CSSCGC thread...
VAL$ is actually useful! I know it's hard to believe, but there will be the evidence.

You'll have to build it yourself with MSVS, gcc or whatever C compiler you
prefer. However, I'm shipping a Win32 binary with...
https://worldofspectrum.net/pub/sinclair/tools/pc/mdv2img.zip
... that also contains a fixed version of BinTap which can convert an
binary file (e. g. machine code) into TAP.
Greets,

I have to admit, I hadn't realised the VAL$ bug report was effectively

Two things bas2tap won't do, and two more it won't do by default:
echo '10 cat !:goto 10' |zmakebas -

There's also at least one (other) fork of zmakebas which includes ZX81
support, I don't know if that was based on zxtext2p or not.
