Can anyone suggest a tool to unpack DMS files?

is there another way to load DMS files directly? I seem to remember there was another way?

Most games and demos must be extracted to a real floppy to play them (they use custom trackloader routines which bang the floppy HW directly).

I did download a DMS unpacker which converted the file do an ADF....I then tried to write this back to an Amiga disk using Amiga explorer but that didnt work.

It really should have worked. xdms and then writing the resulting adf to a disk ought to work at least.
