Use the DMS tool (probably on Aminet) to write the DMS file to a floppy disk. Then install the software from the disk.

and here's one which extracts to HD:

Excuse my ignorance on this particular issue....but...what are the benefits of DMS2HD? Does it mean that any .DMS file will be installed straight on HD ant wont be necessary to put it on a disk???

So, basically i can say goodbye to floppy discs? I mean, if i can install straight from .DMS to HDD, do i need to change path or anything? I like the idea of mounting a virtual unit also, i was just curious about if it would be possible just to decompress a .DMS file straight into my local hard disk, without doing anything else?
Brilliant! Must test that function now!!!!!

Thanks again my good friend moto!!!!
