We have exactly one program which can play native DMCS files, here in LIB 7 file MMM21.LZH. Unfortunately, it doesn't do a very good job of playing them at all. The main thing preventing more such players is Electronic Arts inexplicable reluctance to make the file format for DMCS files public. If you have DMCS, there is another possible solution: You can save the file in SMUS format, for which we have at least three files containing players here in LIB 7: SMUS.ARC, DPLAY.ZOO (which only plays SMUS files, despite it's description), and PLAY11.ARC (which may or may not play the files made by DMCS: It's designed for Sonix files which are a superset of SMUS, so it's hard to say if it will work…). Meanwhile, since someone has once again brought up the topic, I'm going to go nag the EA representitive about it one more time… <grin> –>Steve Bennett
