- File-Masher System
- Version 1.20
- DOCUMENTATION
-
-
- FMS is a part of DMS, which allows the user to pack files
- and include those files to the .DMS file.
-
- DMS and FMS, a 2-in-one file packing utility.
- FMS is file compressor for data or executable files. its nothing
- new that LhA, already did quite a job on that. DMS shows that it
- can compete with LhA in file packing, and combining both Diskimages
- and files in one single file makes it even more powerful.
-
- FMS will detect DMS images(tracks) and tell you its here,
- if found. and DMS will do the same when unpacking tracks.
-
- When packing whole directories, FMS is very simple to use for that.
- Specify directory for packing, and the directory + subdirectories
- will be packed without doing anything, but specifying the
- directory.
-
-
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- ^ FMS COMMANDS ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-
- MAKESFX
- ^^^^^^^
-
- If you want people to be able to unpack your .FMS files, without
- needing the DMS program, you can use this command..
- NOTE: This option was intended for registered versions only.
-
- write:
- DMS MAKESFX <SOURCE[.FMS]>
-
-
- A
- ^^^
-
- Add and compress files to archive.
- with this option you can put files into a archive or you can
- join those files to a previous .DMS file.
- NOTE: to add files to a existing .DMS file, add the .DMS extension
-
-
- ex. 1: DMS A <SOURCE[.FMS][.DMS]> <FILE1> <FILE2> ....
-
- E
- ^^^
-
- Extract files from archive.
- with this option you extract files from a archive.
- you can select a destination directory for the files.
- When extracting, dms will search for .DMS and .FMS files
-
- ex. 1: DMS E <SOURCE[.FMS][.DMS]> <DESTINATION DIRECTORY>
-
- V
- ^^^
- View files in archive.
-
- when viewing the compressed archive, dms will show,
- the most important info on the files.
- and full directory structure.
-
- ex. 1: DMS V <SOURCE[.FMS][.DMS]>
-
- L
- ^^^
- List files in archive.
-
- when viewing the compressed archive, dms will show,
- the most important info on the files.
- dms will show only the filename.
-
- ex. 1: DMS L <SOURCE[.FMS][.DMS]>
-
-
- TEST
- ^^^^
-
- For testing the .FMS file, use the "TEST" option, and specify
- the extension too. And dms will validate the .FMS file.
-
-
- ex. 1: DMS TEST <SOURCE[.FMS]>
-
-
- *********************************************************************
- *In the Evaluation version, you have limited access to this option. *
- * *
- *1: files larger than 66 kilobytes cannot be packed with the *
- * evaluation version. *
- * *
- *2: you will only be able to pack one directory at a time, *
- * if this directory contains subdirectories, FMS will skip *
- * this subdirectory. *
- * *
- *3: FMS will not include file flags(rwed), and file comments. *
- * Wildcards are disabled. *
- * *
- *4: The part of DMS which packs diskettes is NOT limited. *
- * *

- ^ DMS COMMANDS ^
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-
- VERIFY:
- ^^^^^^^
- :> DEFAULT
-
-
- We have all tried to unpack Disks and later found out , that the disk
- had read/write errors.
- Now I can proudly say, that DMS will ALWAYS, unless specified,
- unpack with VERIFY on, why do it without?...
- DMS will tell you IF an error occured, and report to you the BAD TRACK.
-
- DMS will try to write the track 3 times, and after 3 error reports, DMS
- will continue writing and report to you the bad track.
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
-
-
-
- NOVERIFY.
- ^^^^^^^^^
- (SUBOPTION)
- :> SELECTABLE
-
-
- You can disable the VERIFY , by adding the NOVERIFY option at the end
- of the command line.
- But I do not recommend it! as DMS would then function in almost the
- same way as previous versions...
-
- *example:
- DMS WRITE <NAME>.DMS NOVERIFY
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
- NOTEXT.
- ^^^^^^^
- (SUBOPTION)
- :> SELECTABLE
-
-
- The NOTEXT option have been changed to ignore Track 0 (bootblock) advert
- texts to be shown, too...if prefered?!...
-
-
- *example:
- DMS WRITE <NAME>.DMS NOTEXT
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
-
-
-
- HD (for DMS v2.00 and up)
- ^^^^^^^
- (SUBOPTION)
- :> SELECTABLE
-
-
- READHD. (for OLD versions v1.51 - v1.53)
- ^^^^^^^
- (OPERATION OPTION)
- :> MUST BE WRITTEN DIRECTLY AFTER THE "DMS" command name.
-
-
- Since Kickstart 3.0, shipped with the A1200/A4000. The AmigaDos can
- read/write HighDensity(DUAL FORMAT) disks.
- But untill now, no Diskimploder/packer supports the option of packing
- those disk types.
- DMS can take those 1.7Meg disks now. Just remember that this version
- of DMS do not check IF you are unpacking to a normal doubledensity
- disk, and writing a Highdensity DMS file, to a normal disk will
- result in an error.
- And writing the HighDensity DMS files also needs a new WRITE option,
- explained later in this documentation.
-
- The READHD option supports all other available suboptions,
- like TEXT,NOZERO e.t.c..
-
- NOTE: you cannot REPACK a HighDensity .DMS file.
-
- *example:
- DMS READHD <NAME>.DMS (OLD DMS VERSIONS)
-
- *example:
- DMS READ <NAME>.DMS HD (DMS v2.0 and up)
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
-
-
- WRITEHD. (for OLD versions v1.51 - v1.53)
- ^^^^^^^^
- (OPERATION OPTION)
- :> MUST BE WRITTEN DIRECTLY AFTER THE "DMS" command name.
-
-
- HD (for DMS v2.00 and up)
- ^^^^^^^^
- (SUBOPTION)
- :> SELECTABLE
-
- If you want to unpack a DMS file which is packed using the HighDensity
- option, you must use this one to unpack the disk correctly again...
-
- The HD/WRITEHD option supports all other available suboptions,
- like NOTEXT,NOVAL,NOVERIFY e.t.c..
-
- *example:
- DMS WRITEHD <NAME>.DMS (OLD DMS VERSIONS)
-
- *example:
- DMS WRITE <NAME>.DMS HD (DMS v2.0 and up)
-
-
- >>NOTE:
- >>
- >>If you're using the option READHD, the disk cannot be unpacked
- >>using previous versions of DMS, to be more exact.
- >>you cannot depack a .DMS file packed with V1.51, using V1.11
- >>
-
- IT IS POSSIBLE TO READ A NORMAL DOS disk( 1.x/2.x ) WITH THIS OPTION
- BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO, THEN SPECIFY LOW 0 HIGH 39 AND
- IT WILL READ AS IT WAS AN 1.7Meg disk.
- IF YOU TRY THIS, YOU WILL SEE A SMALL ADVANCHE IN PACKING (10-20K), BUT!
- THESE FILES CANNOT BE UNPACKED WITH DMS v1.11 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- EXPLANATION WHY THIS WORKS:
- A normal DOS disk consists of 880K data, each track holds data of
- 11264 bytes length, where a HighDensity disk can take DOUBLE
- the size of datas stored on a normal DD disk, and therefor
- hold 11264 *2 bytes on each track. So it IS POSSIBLE to read with the
- READHD option, but unless you need to make the file those 10-20K smaller,
- dont use it for that.. Generally most people still have the DMS v1.11.
- By some time, maybe most of the DMS users will have the updated version
- and then.. Thats up to you.
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
- APPEND.
- ^^^^^^^
- (OPERATION OPTION)
- :> MUST BE WRITTEN DIRECTLY AFTER THE "DMS" command name.
-
- Sometimes you need to pack multiply track, ex. 2 and 5.
- and the tracks is not followed by eachother, so normally you
- would DMS 2 or more files to do it....
- That is not nessessary anymore DMS can APPEND a single track to
- your DMS file.. and makes it easier for you to join single tracks
- into one DMS file.
- Remember! if no LOW / HIGH track is specified, DMS will pack
- the tracks 0 to 79 and append those to the existing file!
- If no .DMS file is found, DMS will report an error.
-
- The APPEND option supports all other available suboptions,
- like TEXT,NOZERO e.t.c..
-
- >>>>>> NOT INCLUDED IN DMSwin v1.52 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
-
- *example: DMS APPEND <NAME>.DMS LOW <xx> HIGH <xx>
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
-
-
-
- VIEW.
- ^^^^^
- (OPERATION OPTION)
- :> MUST BE WRITTEN DIRECTLY AFTER THE "DMS" command name.
-
-
- Several things have been changed to be compatible with the
- new changes in v1.51, and preivous versions will NOT report
- the same information about the file, as DMS v1.51 will do.
-
-
- *example:
- DMS VIEW <NAME>.DMS <FULL>
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
- DIZTEXT
- ^^^^^^^
- (SUBOPTION)
- :> SELECTABLE
-
- Many bbs's support the use of FILE_ID.DIZ texts nowadays.
- The only thing missing was that DMS supported it, DMS DO NOW!
- works in the same way as TEXT. (for more info read below about TEXT)
- The registered version will also be able to extract the FILE_ID.DIZ
- to a distination file.
-
- *example:
- DMS READ <NAME>.DMS DIZTEXT FILE_ID.DIZ
-
-
-

-
- Command Line Options and Usage
-
- The general format for a DMS command is:
-
- DMS command file[.DMS] [OPTIONS ...]
-
- Everything in braces [] is optional. Everything else is required.
-
- file[.DMS] is a user specified filename. The .DMS ending will
- automatically be appended to the filename if you do not include it.
- This is done to avoid confusion with other archiver formats.
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1.) READ
-
- This command will read and compress a disk. The basic usage for this
- command is:
-
- DMS Read file[.DMS] [FROM Dev:] [TEXT filetext] [CMODE mode] [LOW lowtrack]
- [HIGH hightrack] [NOVAL] [NOZERO] [ENCRYPT password]
-
- file[.DMS]
-
- - the output file which will contain the archived disk.
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- FROM Dev:
-
- - Will read the disk from a different device. The default device is DF0:
- (internal drive). You may choose any device as long as it has 80 tracks,
- 2 sides, 11 sectors/track, and 512 bytes per sector.
- Examples: DF0:, DF1:, DF2:, DF3:, RAD:, FM0:, FF0:, etc.
-
- TEXT filetext
-
- - Causes DMS to read in the file 'filetext' and add it to the archive.
- When the archive is extracted the text will be displayed before writing
- the disk. This is useful for identifying disks or giving other
- information about the archive.
-
- CMODE mode
-
- - Chooses the compression mode used. Mode is either NONE, HEAVY1, HEAVY2,
- or BEST
-
- The default mode is BEST
-
- Available modes are:
-
- NONE - No Compression is performed (Straight Read).
- HEAVY1 - Heavy compression, good speed/compression ratio.
- HEAVY2 - Best available compression. Only available with >1meg ram.
- BEST - Chooses Best compression method for available memory.
-
- LOW lowtrack
-
- - Specifies the starting track to read from. The default is track 0.
- Lowtrack must be a value from 0 to 79.
-
- HIGH hightrack
-
- - Specifies the ending track to stop at. The default is track 79.
- Hightrack must be a value from 0 to 79.
-
- NOVAL
-
- - Stops DMS from inhibiting the disk validator when reading the disk.
-
- NOZERO
-
- - Normally DMS will read the AmigaDOS bitmap from the disk and archive
- only sectors which are being used. If the disk is a non-filing system
- disk or has a bad bitmap, DMS will automatically archive the whole disk.
- In EXTREME cases DMS will make a wrong assumption about the type of
- disk it is archiving. NOZERO will cause DMS to archive the whole disk
- totally ignoring the disk bitmap. Generally you will rarely if ever
- have to use this option.
-
- ENCRPYT password
-
- - Causes DMS to encrypt the input from the disk using the password
- supplied. 'password' is any alphanumeric word you desire.
- Examples: Joe, Fred, ABC1234, ONLY-FOR-ME, etc.
-
- EXAMPLES:
-
- DMS read disk1
-
- - Will compress a disk from drive DF0: using the default compression mode
- and store the results in the file 'disk1.DMS'
-
- DMS read stuff.DMS lowtrack 20
-
- - Will compress only tracks 20 to 79 into file 'stuff.DMS'
-
- DMS read stuff lowtrack 40 hightrack 40
-
- - Will compress only track 40 into file 'stuff.DMS'
-
- DMS read stuff from df1: cmode heavy1 noval nozero text RAM:intro
-
- - Will compress a disk from drive DF1: using compression mode HEAVY1, not
- inhibiting the disk validator, not using the disk bitmap and adding
- the text from file 'RAM:intro' to the file 'stuff.DMS'
-
- DMS read stuff.DMS from RAD: encrypt JOESTUFF1
-
- - Will compress a disk from ram drive RAD: and encrypting the output
- with the password 'JOESTUFF1' to file 'stuff.DMS'
-
- DMS read stuff.DMS text CON:0/0/640/200/window
-
- - Will compress a disk and allow you to quickly add text to the archive.
- A console window will open up and you can then type any text you
- want. To finish type CTRL \ to close the window and continue.
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 2.) WRITE
-
- This command will uncompress and write a disk. The basic usage for this
- command is:
-
- DMS Write file[.DMS],,, [TO Dev:] [LOW lowtrack] [HIGH hightrack]
- [NOVAL] [NOTEXT] [NOPAUSE] [DECRYPT password]
-
- file[.DMS],,,
-
- - One or more input files to be extracted. Standard AmigaDOS wildcards
- are supported.
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- TO Dev:
-
- - Will write the output to device Dev: (the default is drive DF0:)
- The device must follows the same rules as in the READ command.
-
- LOW lowtrack
-
- - Specifies the starting track to write from. Tracks before lowtrack
- will be ignored. Default is track 0
-
- HIGH hightrack
-
- - Specifies the ending track to write from. Tracks after hightrack
- will be ignored. Default is track 79
-
- NOVAL
-
- - Stops DMS from inhibiting the disk validator when writing a disk.
-
- NOTEXT
-
- - Causes DMS to ignore any text to be displayed from the archive.
-
- NOPAUSE
-
- - Stops DMS from pausing after displaying any text from the archive.
-
- DECRPYT password
-
- - Causes DMS to decrypt the archive with the password 'password'.
- This is only used if the archive was previously encrypted. 'password'
- must be the EXACT same one used when encrypting the file otherwise
- the archive will not be processed correctly.
-
- EXAMPLES:
-
- DMS write stuff
-
- - Will extract the archive stuff.DMS to drive DF0:
-
- DMS write part1 part2.dms TO DF2: NOTEXT
-
- - Will extract the archives part1.DMS and part2.DMS to drive DF2: ,
- ignoring any banner text in the archives
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 3.) REPACK
-
- This command allows you to recompress an older DMS archive. It can also
- be used as a simple split utility. The basic usage for this
- command is:
-
- DMS Repack file[.DMS] [TO file2[.DMS]] [LOW lowtrack] [HIGH hightrack]
- [CMODE mode]
-
- file[.DMS]
-
- - The input file to be recompressed.
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- TO file2[.DMS]
-
- - Causes DMS to store the results in file2.DMS , otherwise the results
- are automatically stored in a file TEMP.DMS
-
- LOW lowtrack
-
- - Specifies lowtrack to start recompression. Tracks before lowtrack
- will be ignored. Default is track 0.
-
- HIGH hightrack
-
- - Specifies hightrack to end recompression. Tracks after hightrack
- will be ignored. Default is track 79.
-
- CMODE mode
-
- - Chooses the compression mode to use. Same as in the READ command.
-
- EXAMPLES:
-
- DMS repack stuff low 20 high 40 cmode NONE
-
- - Will extract tracks 20 through 40 from the archive stuff.DMS ,
- recompress them using no compression and store the results
- in the file TEMP.DMS .
-
- DMS repack old.dms TO new.dms
-
- - Will recompress the archive old.DMS using the default compression mode
- and store the results in the file new.DMS
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 4.) VIEW
-
- This command will view information about a DMS archive. The basic usage
- for this command is:
-
- DMS View file[.DMS],,, [FULL]
-
- file[.DMS],,,
-
- - One or more input files to be viewed. Standard AmigaDOS wildcards
- are supported.
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- FULL
-
- - Causes DMS to display information about every track in the archive.
- Otherwise only the information header will be displayed.
-
- EXAMPLES:
-
- DMS view file1 part#? full
-
- - Will display full information about the archives file1.DMS and
- the files part#?.DMS
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 5.) TEST
-
- This command will test the integrity of a DMS archive. The basic usage
- for this command is:
-
- DMS Test file[.DMS],,,
-
- file[.DMS],,,
-
- - One or more input files to be tested. Standard AmigaDOS wildcards
- are supported.
-
- EXAMPLES:
-
- DMS test file1 part#?
-
- - Will test the archives file1.DMS and the files part#?.DMS
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 6.) TEXT
-
- This command will display any banner text in a DMS archive. This is
- used to quickly find out information about an archive without having
- to extract it. The basic usage for this command is:
-
- DMS Text file[.DMS],,,
-
- file[.DMS],,,
-
- - One or more input files to display text. Standard AmigaDOS wildcards
- are supported.
-
- EXAMPLES:
-
- DMS text file1 part#?
-
- - Will display any banner text from the archives file1.DMS and the files
- part#?.DMS
