- Open up a shell, and simply type DMS WRITE filename.dms
- That should extract the disk to df0: If you want to put it somewhere else
- (I often use a "virtual" floppy on my harddrive, or you can do it to the
- RAD disk) type DMS WRITE filename.dms TO devicename:
- Or just type DMS to get all the options.
-
- No need to even format the disk, as it just stores an exact image of the
- disk in one file (including any odd bootblocks etc)
-
- btw, I generally tend to copy the .dms file to ram: first if it's on a
- floppy and I want to extract it to floppy. It can get confused if you
- don't, and it saves you extracting it over the original disk.

- Hope that helps :)
