- I already know how to do all this. However, the problem is that the menu system
- on the CDROM calls a copy of DMS on the CDROM with no arguments (except the
- file name) and this will ALWAYS decompress to DF0: as that is the DMS default.
- What I want to do is to get the CDROM to decompress to HF0: instead of having
- to bring up RO (from aminet - not bad for a PD alternative to Dir Opus), find
- the file I want to extract on the CDROM and UnDMS it (which is set up for
- HF0:).
-
- The only way I've managed to do what I want to to unmount DF0: unassign it, and
- assign DF0: to HF0:, but I can't remount DF0: afterwards again without
- rebooting.
