How do you run the lemmings.dms Demo from ab20? I put it on an install'ed floppy and booted from it. Is .dms some sort of file compression? Does it run on an 030? Do I need some other files to run it? -- Bob Laughlin laughlin@cs.sfu.ca

Some of the files are self extracting. Try just running it. If it doesn't run, then you need DiskMasher to unpack it. I don't know if it's up on ab20 yet or not. I DO know however, that it is available on my bbs at the below number. You will have to register for an account to get it however. Access is immediate. It will be in the File Library in the Amiga Volume. You must have a term program that does Xmodem to download DMS. -- Bob The Graphics BBS 908/469-0049 "It's better than a sharp stick in the eye!" ============================================================================ InterNet: bobl@graphics.rent.com | Raven Enterprises UUCP: ...rutgers!bobsbox!graphics!bobl | 25 Raven Avenue BitNet: bobl%graphics.rent.com@pucc | Piscataway, NJ 08854 Home #: 908/560-7353 | 908/271-8878

I dont know where you could find it but there is a DMS program that is the "newest version of warp". Its very good IMO and is pretty quick, the only problems Ive had is when I typed in the wrong command to undms a file onto a blank disk, I ended up compressing the unformatted disk into the file I was trying to uncompress. <sigh> type dms write <filename.dms> at the cli and make sure you have a blank disk in df0:. DMS sometimes fucks up under 2.0 on my friends 3000 but it generally works. <we got it to work under 1.3 and tried again under 2.0 and it worked that time> >-- > Bob Laughlin laughlin@cs.sfu.ca
