What is a .DMS file?

[KennyR]

DMS is a diskmasher file, a compressed disk image. If you want to unpack it on an Amiga, have an empty floppy ready and look at dms11.run on Aminet.

No problem.

If you need help getting DMS to work just ask, though it should be straightforward enough. Even unpacking the archive is easy - just run it.

Then it's something like:

DMS Yourdmsfile.DMS DF0: WRITE

And its a case of clicky clicky goes the disk, and in a minute or so your DMS is written.

It goes without saying, but don't have any non-writeprotected floppy with contents you want to keep in the drive when you do it.

Ah, wimps. You're lucky it isn't

dms -xfjs -t 2 -h DEF_DISK /dev/fd0

or something :-P
