INTRODUCION
-----------
ARexx script for Directory Opus to unpack a DMS file to disk with
progress indication.
INSTALLATION
------------
Start the installer script. It will install a dms filetype
so that you just need to doubleclick a dms file.
USING IT
--------
Just doubleclick a dms file and select a device. If you are doing this for
the first time, you should select 'Scan' first. For more details, read the
history.
HISTORY
-------
Pre 3.0 · Completely Edmunds work
3.0 (??.??.????) · From now on, it's my work
· New features:
· UnDMS several files at once
· Smart Drive Scan (Press the Scan button to update
the list): It scans for all currently mounted and
mountable drives on your system. It compares
HIGHCYL, LOWCYL, SURFACES and BLOCKSPERTRACK=
SECTORSPERTRACK wheter they have the right values
to undms to them (I figured out this myself. Write
me if you don't agree). The list gets saved to
DOpus5:System/UnDMS.config. You can edit this file
with a text editor to force the order and the
shortcut in the requester by adding a '_' (under-
line) in front of the corresponding letter.
UnDMS.dopus5 preserves this shortcut if you select
'scan' again. But it does not check wheter your
changes are valid etc. If you enter devices that
don't exist, it's your problem.
3.1 (05.06.1997) · Made installer script
· Improved the documentation
· Sorry, no time for a german version for the Magellan
release
KNOWN BUGS
----------
· Multiple entries in one line (separated with a ';') are skipped. Such
DosDrivers may not show up in the list because of this.
· It only works with Amiga Double Density Disk Images and Drives, but who
has ever used dms for something different?
· As I'm using a random number for the temporary file, there is a very
small chance for a conflict. I'll change this using the lister handle
of a new lister.
· Some versions of the fmsdisk.device don't work the 68060, some are
destroying unit 0 while writing to unit 4 (I think). Hmm...
