- Can anyone tell me why I can NEVER NEVER NEVER get a .dms filetype
- to ftp/dl/unarc properly? I am a -longtime- user and QUITE familiar
- with transfering files. I can successfully ftp/dl/unarchive many file
- types. With DMS I -invariably- get a FATAL ERROR and corrupt archive
- I had shied away from .dms files for several months... Today's listing
- from recent physik posts included a new bbs that was DMSd so I figured
- I would give it another try. I even went so far as to ftp in the
- most recent DMS (dms111) from amiga.physik while I was at it. I tried
- the smaller of the two files for TrinityBBS first and got an error on it
- I was not too happy but I continued with the 400K download (using 2400
- and Kermit -gawd!-) of the main Trinity file. After my 2 hour dl session
- I have nothing to show. Is DMS picky, am I doing something wrong?
- Both files unpacked somewhat but it is incomplete. and DMS TEST of both
- shows
- Header Identification Error
- ID:C100 for trinitybbs-2.dms and
-
- ID:1A00 for trinitybbs-1.dms
-
- each is listed as a Fatal Error!
-
- HELP! This is the same scenario I have encountered EVERY time I use DMS
-
- my setup is: A2500/030 '882 1megchip 4megfast 105megQuantum 2.04ROM
-
- how do I get DMS to behave? OR how do I get intact DMS archives? I have
- been downloading them EXACTLY like other archives which work beautifully.

- :(
