    This archive contains the following files for use with the Amiga
series of personal computers.

    README.TXT - The file you are now reading.

    DMS - The DISK-Masher version 1.02 CLI/Shell GENERIC version

    DMS.doc - Partial online documentation to The DISK-Masher

    Update.doc - Latest version update documentation.

    Warning!.txt - An important warning about a fake 'Unwarp 1.4".

    Notice.txt - An important notice to Warp/UnWarp users and a small
                 comparison between DMS and various other compressors.

    DMS102.EXE - Self-extracting archive containing the above files.  It
                 has been padded out to a multiple of 1024 bytes so it
                 does not need to 'chopped' if transferred via modem.
                 This has been done for security purposes to prevent
                 bogus versions from being spread.

    Please note that the only official distributions of DMS will be
through the self-extracting archive DMS102.EXE .  Any other versions
that you may receive are not authorized and may be a trojan horse or
virus of some kind.  If you suspect as much, please write to SDS Software
before using any unauthorized programs.
