I guess I like to use the traditional dms for patches as it displays ASCII and bitmap gfx that the packed file has. I can see how xdms might be able to display ASCII, but not easily the bitmap gfx.

Thanks for upping the test files Adderly, you beat me to it!
![]() I didn't know a dms file could include actual gfx stuff, I thought it was all ascii or some kind of amiga ansi equivalent. I guess if you dropped out of a standard console display and invoked a graphic mode then you could display whatever you wanted to really, but this would require extra coding and bloat the app a bit; after all xdms is good in that it is so small and quick to use. Great stuff - looking forward to the new builds! |

I think it's Amiga ANSI that was converted from bitmap gfx. It would definitely bloat the app. I think pure ASCII displays could be easily implemented tho.

but it seems that there's little to be gained by adding that code. I tested the xdms executable on one DMS using the readdisk executable from the xDMS at http://iancoog.altervista.org/ , and it successfully unpacked the DMS and resulting ADF. I have posted the executable to the Zone! for those without a C compiler. |

Please submit a patch to properly create tmp files for windows. I don't have the environment so I can't test. It is enough if you submit me a function of the form int get_temp_file(char *name, size_t namesize) in a separate module. The function should decide a proper name and create a file unreadable/writable by other users (avoiding race conditions). The function should return zero on success and non-zero on failure. Afterwards xdms will open that file with fopen(name, "w"). |

I implemented a brute force password cracking mechanism into xdms 1.3.1 to unpack some Amiga Format coverdisks. Would you like to merge my changes into your version aswell? It tries all 16 bit keys until it hits pay dirt, then generates passwords that match and prints out a bunch of them (all keys can be turned back into ASCII passwords 4 bytes or less in length).
All my changes just went into the xdms.c file. Also when you do detect an error, what are you writing away to the track buffer? I would prefer something like what DIC does, write "TDIC" all through the track rather than have a track which is just random as you wouldn't be able to tell there was an error in that track by looking at the ADF. If you want my source please PM me with where you want it sent. |

But no, the track isn't just random. Take the defect flt-cup.dms file i provided for testing. Only one byte is different on the erroneous track (i have compared it with an error-free original)! Hmmm, but you are right, xdms should mark such tracks as bad somehow. May i suggest to write just the standard (repeated) "errdms!!" string on the whole track as standard procedure but an option in xdms should allow to write the track with the error on it like it is. Of course this is for experts who know what they do. (maybe -e or -fe)? Some guys like andreas or me would be able to hunt down just the wrong bytes and replace them from other Tosec disk etc. so this feature would be very welcome! ![]() Last edited by Adderly; 20 August 2006 at 01:53. |

Thanks for the new build poohbear! I'll have to run some of my old dms files through this to help me get them over to adf. This will also give it all a good testing!

Poohbear, you can release your last source code version of xdms?

I'm not sure that I still have the source code. If I find it during a clear up, I will find this thread and upload it.

XMS Win32 Port
Well I don't know about poohbears copy but I compiled a win32 version and mailed it to the XDMS project maintainer heikki.orsila@iki.fi, many years ago but he didn't update his website. It really was just a small patch to fix mkstemp its funny you know he talks about it here but when I emailed him it didn't seem like it was patched already. Im pretty sure I kept the source code when I patched it..
I think mine just used the file creation flags to create the temp file but I think this was fine as far as I remember it made a per user temp file under their profile.. Ive attached what I sent but it looks like poohbears beat me to the punch as the messages in this forum were posted in 2006. I think I patched mine in 2008 as at the time the version at http://zakalwe.fi/~shd/foss/xdms/ was 1.3.2 and it didn't compile for windows.. I don't think this zip has a compiled version, you would have to fire up visual studio... the zip file has the vs2008 project files so it should compile fine.. Be aware the file in amiga-bin is probably still the 1.3.2 binary from the old version. this was just the source so heikki could update his repository. Last edited by Vot; 06 May 2013 at 17:31. |
