DMS - Disk Masher System
History & Downloads
Bild KI-generiert
Beschreibung:
Das Disk Masher System war eine auf dem Amiga verwendete Methode, um ein komprimiertes Abbild einer Diskette zu erstellen.
Die Disketten wurden blockweise eingelesen, dabei wurde deren Datenstruktur beibehalten.
Das DMS fand vor allem in den Bereichen der Demoszene und der Warez-Szene großen Anklang, da sich mit diesem System Diskettenabbilder leicht in Mailbox-Netzwerken oder generell per DFÜ verteilen ließen.

xDMS uses source code fragments or informations from the following public domain or freeware programs:
Unix LHA by Masaru Oki : xDMS Heavy mode decrunch functions are based in lha static lzh functions. DMS used parts of LHA and LZHUF in the first place.
LZHUF by Haruyasu Yoshizaki : xDMS Deep mode decrunch functions are based in LZHUF.
testdms by Bjorn Stenberg : I got some initial information about the DMS headers with testdms, and also the CRC calculation function.
xDMS also calls, if available, gzip made by Jean-loup Gailly / Free Software Foundation, and readdisk made by Bernd Schmidt crux@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
