  7. How to start:
  8.  
  9. NEWS:
  10. (v 1.32)
  11. Made a complete new layout, with ANSI colors.
  12. Fixed a minor Allocation bug, it needed 300K more than needed for
  13. testing files.
  14. The NEW DMS v2.x did NOT work with the installtxt, due to
  15. the new option which enables breaking of a waiting task.
  16. NOTE: This is the most reliable program to use for testing DMS
  17. files at the moment, because MAPUS will change your DMS HEADER
  18. and write its "MAPUS" name in it, and that will not work with
  19. dms v2.x files in some cases. So, either this person who made it
  20. changes the writing of his *NAME* or stop using it! it will some
  21. make your DMS files corrupt! and people cannot undms those files.
  22. now you're warned.
  23. Changed the trk0 adder , so the INSTALLTXT program no more
  24. is needed for making those trk0 bbsadd's.
  25. A normal txtfile is all you need to save for doing a trk0.
  26.  
  27.  
  28. (v 1.30)
  29. Updated the program to work with the new FMS system.
  30.  
  31. and fixed a minor bug in the track0 adder..
  32.  
  33. *****************************************************************
  34. Also included a special "NO ADDER" version which checks the .DMS
  35. file and removes all track0 adds (BBS adverts), and text adverts.
  36. so the file will be clean for use (with DMSDEVICE).
  37. All you need to do with this version is:
  38.  
  39.    DMSTESTUTRK <.DMS FILENAME>

  49. How to USE:
  50. ***********
  51.  
  52. DMSTEST >:    the following options can be used.
  53.  
  54.  
  55. DMSTEST FILENAME[.DMS]    
  56.     Checks file for CRC errors. nothing else
  57.  
  58. DMSTEST -0BBSADD[.TXT] FILENAME[.DMS]
  59.     Checks file for CRC errors.
  60.         Adds a textfile called BBSADD.TXT (.TXT is automatically
  61.         added to the name if no extension is written.
  62.  
  63. DMSTEST -1BBS[.TRK] <FILENAME>[.DMS]    
  64.     Checks file for CRC errors.
  65.         Adds a TRK0 showboot to the .DMS file
  66.         and also removes ALL showtxt files and the other
  67.         TRK0's which may have been added to the .DMS .
  68.  
  69. DMSTEST -0BBSADD[.TXT] -1BBS[.TRK] <FILENAME>[.DMS]    
  70.     Checks file for CRC errors.
  71.         Adds a textfile called BBSADD.TXT
  72.         (.TXT is automatically added to the name if no extension is written.)
  73.         Adds a TRK0 show boot to the .DMS file
  74.         and also removes ALL showtxt files and the other
  75.         TRK0's which may have been added to the .DMS .
  76.     
  77. so we have four different options.
  78.  
  79.  no options after program name, then just check a .DMS file specified.
  80.  
  81.  -0 add a TXT file to the dms
  82.  -1 add a TRK0 file to the dms and removes the other trk0's
  83.     and the txt files.
  84.     NOTE THE ORIGINAL TRK0 of the file is still kept.!!!
  85.     If no trk0 is found in the .DMS file, it will
  86.     skip this part.
