- I don't know what you guys are talking about. I use Hfmounter too, left
- the assignment for it out and each and everytime I get to choose where
- the HF0: phoney drives get put. My Diropus is set-up to recognize .DMS
- files in the filetypes with a click-m-click 'DMS write {f} to {d}' and an
- output window (description, dms writing to other window as a device) and
- just make sure one of the HFX: devices is up in the second listview. A
- double click on the archive, undms's the file to your choice of devices
- with a listing in the filetypes under *Action double click, 'dms write
- {f} to {aSelect destination drive:} NOPAUSE and again use an output
- window. If you don't have directory opus (snicker) you could save a macro
- to do this.. or an alias.
-
- P.S. Rad must be the exact size of a real floppy to undms it.
