Betty, I downloaded a program with a .DMS suffix and I can't remember how to unpack it. Can you help? Thanks! Mark… autopilot engaged!

You need a special unpacker for the .DMS files. I think there is one here called DMS.LHA. Anyway, you can locate it if you go to any library prompt and type: BRO LIB:ALL KEY:DMS It will create an exact copy of the disk that was compressed in the file – sector by sector. —Betty

Mark, DMS201.SFX, a self-extracting archive, is in library 14, if you don't already have it. One caution with using it. When you have written the disk that DMS produces, make sure that you either execute a Diskchange <drivename> or pop the diskette and reinsert it. If you do not, the system won't pick up the rewritten diskette name/format until the next time it is inserted.
