Cas2wav under windows ...

Post by tjewell »

Hi all!

Well, I've written a little program under Xroar and I'd love to see it running on the real machine. I have a .cas file ready to go, and I guess it needs to be a wav. I've found cas2wav.pl in the archive, but I get an error (500) when I try and download it. I'm also not sure if it will work under Windows.

Any pointers?

Thanks, Tony.

To use cas2.wav.pl you need a working Perl environment....

You can download DC.EXE and simply use DC filename.cas and it will output filename.wav for you.

Thanks Simon, DC.EXE worked just fine!

I do have a perl environment on this PC and I'm confident with perl, so I would have been happy to use the script - however, I get an error 500 when I try to download the script. Is it possible the site is seeing the '.pl' file extension and is trying to execute it as if it were a CGI script?

I have a posted a Windows compile of Ciaran's cas2exe utility in the Uploads section of the forum.
