Short: DMS unpacker (PPC), incl. portable source
Author: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
Uploader: Andre R. de la Rocha, Andreas R. Kleinert (port)
Version: 1.1 (28.2.98)
Type: util/arc
xDMS is a public domain portable program to unpack DMS files. It is
written in ANSI C and can be compiled in most platforms. It will be
more useful for users of Amiga emulators, but is also useful for real
Amiga users aswell. This archive comes with the source code and
binaries for Amiga.
xDMS Features:
Supports decompression of files compressed using all known DMS
compression modes, including old and obsolete ones, and also encrypted
files, for 100% compatibility.
Can test DMS files integrity, view file informations and show
attached Banners and FILEID.DIZ .
Can generate standard disk images and compressed disk images, using
gzip, if you want to store your files in ADF or ADZ formats.
Can extract the files contained inside the DMS archives, if the
compressed disk is an AmigaDOS disk, using readdisk made by Bernd
Schmidt.
Can process multiple files in batch with a single command, and also
use stdin and stdout for input and output of data.
PPC binaries have the ".elf" extension and are useable from Shell
when being used with ppc.library V46+

Note:
In the past, some guy called "SPH" took most of my free PPC ports
(those where the sources have been included) and ported them to WOS.
While I've nothing against WOS ports, an other point is very distasteful
and unfair in my opinion: removing all references to my name and initials
and simply replacing those with his own, while also removing all references
to PPC-Lib/ELF and replacing those with WOS references and usually some flames
or even offenses against the competing kernel and porter - without actually
rewriting the readme text itself in a major way (for example, if I describe what
*I* specifically did for the port - and what he didn't have to do a *second* time,
of course - he does not even remove/change *those* notes and/or give me credit).
This leads to the strange situation, that I hereby have to copyright this
.readme text, to claim its authorship and forbid changes which aren't
clearly marked as being changes to the original: While quotes may have
been derived from other parts of the distribution, the whole .readme as
such now is (C)opyrighted by Andreas R. Kleinert in 1998.
Copyrights to the other files remain as such. Nevertheless I'd ask anyone
to give me credit for the changes which I did myself and which of
course have been labeled/marked/documented as such. Even free software
lives from respecting the intellectual work and property of others. Thank you.
