I have no idea if any support ADZ. I would love this ability too since I have a few ADZ's that I've been unpacking then running through the renamer
If you do end up doing it Turk182, would you be able to tell us how many the TOSEC dat's didn't recognise? I'd be interested to know |

scripty
I wrote a script in java to produce a bat file that gunziped everything from the 2 cds to my harddrive.
I was some what suprised to see that around 10-20 unrecognized disks were present for each alphabetical directory (within the games dirs).Strange but true. I wonder if these where save games or non working games but stuff like Adventure construction kit actually worked even thouhg it wasnt recognised ... |

Get a copy of..
Batch Zip toolkit.
It zips up your files individually in a number of formats including adz. What we really need though is zip support in the next release of the Amiga emulators (please!) |

What I meant was that these games were already saved on before lazarus made the CD set ,I thougt the lazarus set would be the obvious choice of checksum for tosec because it is quite an old collection by internet standards now...
Yes I know all that rename *.adz to gzip etc.. But I needed the practice .. Though I cant understand why UAE doesnt let us list .zip files ,anyone wanna mention it to codepoet? |

Just in case anyone didnt know...
how to convert dms files to adf en mass.
get dms2adf.exe off the internet and stick it in your windows directory. create a batch file called d2a.bat with the following line in it. for %i in (dir *.dms) do dms2adf %i.dms %i.adf ok then copy all your amiga dms files from your pir8 cd to a directory on your hardisk then cd into that directory and type d2a. When its done type del *.dms and then run the resulting files through your favourite TOSEC renamer. You could use a similar batch file to zip / unzip files too. I think they still do a command line version of zip dont they? |

Lazarus may be old and well known, but if you knew the number of large uncommon sets merged into TOSEC, you would be astonished.
Any compression on ADF's is not conducive for renaming..given the number of packing programs out there and the number of compression levels each supports..u can imagine the mess trying to catalogue it |

xDMS is a much better DMS utility for the PC, well IMO anyway.
You can get xDMS from many Amiga pages on the web, including WinUAE's page. |

@turk182
I'm particularly interested in Compacts, Packs, Collections and Compilations as they are the hardest type of disks to get on Amiga. Also Docs and Utility disk packs are difficult to get, so if you find any of those, please upload. |

Sounds great!
BTW, morph...what's up with that Amiga Applications TOSEC dat? Surely you regular Amiga TOSEC lot had nothing to do with that thing. It's damn near useless with its all lowercase names and massive errors and incorrect information. That should be scrapped and started over from scratch. |

Actually, I have nothing to do with the Apps dat, although I know the person who made it. Don't be too harsh on him though. You gotta remember that all the dats have to be considered in terms of BETA software. There's no guarantee that they will work, and the information they contain might not always be 100% accurate. Feedback is of course always welcome, and if you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to contact the dat author.
