Easy way to Convert from ADF --> DMS ??

11 June 2003, 13:34

hi all, can anyone tell me an "easy" way to convert ADF file to DMS ?
when i say easy it means it can be done in about 10 seconds or so.

I saw a tutorial on the net but thats using winuae and very confusing for more or less amiga newbie like me

thanks in advance

ok, heres an easy way...

get diskimage from aminet: http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/amine.../diskimage.lha

this will let you mount upto 10 adf's at a time as a floppy device, eject them and mount others without having to mess about with uae.

once you have done that it is easy to create a button for Dopus to mount the adf file, and compress it with dms.

But all of that is assuming you can move about in AmigaDOS/DOpus. If you cannot, I'm afraid there is no such 10-second tool anywhere.

atatched is a script which will do it in windows for you

Simply put it in the same folder as the DMS files and makesure XDMS is in your c:windows/ folder (I think) then doubleclick it to unpack them

(note: it doesn't join split dms files back together

)

I think he's searching for something like adf2dms.
And i don't know any tool with this function under windows. :-(

1.System2.0:> move amigaGameR0mZ0r.ADF amigaGameR0Z0r.DMS

:P

ADF2DMS is what you need, as Nyarla pointed out. You can find it on the Aminet
