- Short: Fontsensitive DMS/DSQ App-Window
- Author: Anthony Brice & Paul Juhasz
- Uploader: anthony@backyard.demon.co.uk
- Version: 1.12
- Type: util/pack
- Replaces: util/pack/BlitzDms110.*
- Requires: WB2.04+ (optional PackDev.lha & Lzx), reqtools.library
- Distribution: Shareware
-
- BlitzDms is the best gui handler for Dms on the Amiga to date and has a
- feature list far too long to harp on around here, so I'll just list a few.
-
- BlitzDms will be Shareware, and, upon reciept of the registration fee, a key
- will be sent to unlock all of the restricted features in the program.
-
- Features
- --------
- Incorporates support for all of the key dms versions including SDS software,
- Paradox and the Parcon version. It also utilises the PackDev system which uses
- lzx and a track copying executable for better compression. The PackDev archive
- is not included within this archive for distribution restrictions, but you can
- find it on Aminet.
-
- AppWindow support. You can drag multiple dms files into the window and it'll
- get on with it for you if, for example, you wanted to repack dms archives to
- the newer xdm/dsq format via RAD: - just watch how fast it works. :)
-
- Font sensitive, and Public Screen configurable. You can put it on any public
- screen, and with any font you like as long as the window can still be
- displayed on the screen size.
-
- All of the configuration is stored in tooltypes written by the program into
- its own icon. No seperate files and EnvArc: trashing required.
-
- Most of the DMS options such as Append, Repack and other options not usually
- supported in other windows from later dms executables are supported with
- BlitzDms. You can add your own banner into any dms file you create automatically
- and view any dms files banner within the gui.
-
- Encryption of a dms file, and options such as validate, verify and supress
- bootblock display are all configurable within the program.
-
- Almost every aspect of BlitzDms is configurable from the window positions
- (Normal and iconified) to using Kcon: as an external output source if it's
- not set as a con: replacement on your system and you wish to use it.
-
- High density drives are catered for.
-
- Track selection is handled via slider gadgets on the prefs window.
-
- You can select wether you want confirmation prompts before BlitzDms undertakes
- any drastic action. If a file already exists which BlitzDms would overwrite it
- will ask you to confirm first so no nasty accidents happen.
-
- Reqtools requesters are used to ensure BlitzDms will function on any 2.04+
- amiga system, and it has been tested on everything from an aging A500 to a
- beefy A4000 with no problems.
-
- BlitzDms has amigaguide documentation, although you won't need to read any
- of it before getting down to using it - just click and go. ;)
-
- The program has been extensively beta tested by 6 different beta testers with
- different machines, not including the two authors.
-
- You'll love it. Seriously :-)
