Steve: I seem to be having some problems with this file, perhaps you can help me out. The problems may be all my fault. I downloaded this file with Whap! just fine, got a file size of 441600 with no problems. I downloaded DMS just fine and ran the self-extracting file to get DMS (Filesize 24816); all went well. I then copied DMS and MW_XMA.DMS to RAM: and tried to UN-DMS the file to a newly formatted blank disk, using DMS WRITE MW_XMA TO DF0:. I got an intro message from DMS, then a few messages from MegaWatts Christmas, including some authors names, etc. After a user prompt, I saw messages indicating unpacking and writing to tracks from 1 to 79. At that point I get a fatal error message and a system prompt of Bad Checksum 880 for the disk I was writing to. I retried this process using different floppies, then I tried using DF2:, again with newly formatted floppies. Always the same result, things go great up to track 79. Those same disks and the 2 drives both work well with any task other than this one. I then tried to use DISKX and DISKSALV on the corrupted disk. Neither one seemed to find any file worth saving. I really do not want to download another 33 minutes if it is atall possible to avoid it. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong. – via Whap!
