Unpack .DMS files with Disk Masher, available via anonymous ftp from ab20.larc.nasa.gov in /amiga/archivers: Mon 04-Feb-91 15:45:46 586 amiga/archivers/dms-1.02.readme Mon 04-Feb-91 15:45:31 34432 amiga/archivers/dms-1.02.lzh ...tad

DMS files are written to floppies in the same way as Warp, Lhwarp, Zoom, Zap, and Dimp write to floppies (all data on the floppy is overwritten). DMS is the official succesor to Warp and Unwarp. Zoom is the fastest disk archiver, then DMS, then Warp, the Lhwarp (never tried Zap or Dimp). Zoom also has an intuition interface. DMS has much support, and intends to have 68020 or 68030 support, plus EXE type disk archiving, intuition interface, and also AMAX!/Atari ST/IBM format archiving. As stated in the DMS docs, any version of Warp or Unwarp beyond 1.2 probably contains a virus, and should be destroyed. There is also a program know as NibWarp or WarpNibbler that does not contain a version number, and is not supported by the original makers of Warp and DMS. DMS is also Warp compatible (or will soon be). I think there may be a converter program available now that transfers from Warp to DMS. DavidTiberio SUNYStonyBrook2-3605 AMIGA TotoProductions DDDMEN
