The design goal of this project is to convert the digital tape format,
introduced with the wav2cas project, back to a format that will enable
us to re-create a cassette that can then be loaded on a regular
Classic Atari equipped with any of the supported cassette units.  The
data is thus re-saved onto cassette tape.  This can be used to clean
up faulty tapes that contain dropouts, spikes, noise, or other
problems.  Data that is damaged can be restored, or repaired.  The
data on the new tape could be saved at a higher baud rate, thus
slightly reducing the time required to load the tape.  The quality of
the cassette tape can be greatly improved in this way.  The cassette
data is encoded into a .wav file, which should then be played back
through a .wav player program.  The audio can then be recorded onto an
audio cassette using a standard audio cassette recorder.  Since the
cassette data is recorded using only a sound card and some software,
there is no need for an Atari cassette unit.  Data can be retrieved
from, and saved to cassette tapes even if your cassette unit is
broken, unreliable, or otherwise not available.  You will need a
regular audio cassette recorder of course.  If you want to load the
cassette again, you will need an Atari and an Atari cassette unit, but
these do not have to be connected to the PC.  You could go to a friend
with your tapes and process them on her/his PC if you do not have such
a device yourself.
