- Brief Documentation
- -------------------
-
- Stripper removes ALL illegal tracks (ie Text Banners) from a DMS
- File. Its usage is as follows:
-
- Stripper INFILE [OUTFILE]
-
- Outfile is optional, if none is specified the stripped DMS file
- will overwrite the original file.
-
- If Outfile is not given, Stripper will write to a file in RAM:
- called TEMPFILE.DMS which will be deleted after finishing its work.
-
- Wildcarding
- -----------
-
- I have included a script file which should do the work.
- Stripper should be installed into your C: Directory, and the scriptfile
- included (STRIP) should be installed into the S: Directory. Let's say you
- have a directory in DH0: called Downloads, and would like to strip all
- files ending with '.DMS'. In that case you would do:
-
- STRIP DH0:Downloads/#?.DMS
-
- New Stuff in Version V2.1
- -------------------------
-
- - V2.0 of DMS Stripper didn't check to see if the inputfile was a
- real DMS archive, now it makes sure it is, or at least checks to see if the
- archive begins with 'DMS!'
-
- - V2.1 now informs the user of the file it is working on. This is
- very useful when working with wildcards.
-
- - When V2.0 couldn't find the inputfile, it wouldn't inform the
- user, this has been added to V2.1.
-
- Plans for future versions
- -------------------------
-
- - Full Checking of the DMS Archive.
-
- - Internal wildcard support
-
- - Selectable Track Extractions. My next DMS Stripper will output to
- the user the tracks contained in the DMS Archive, and let the user choose
- the tracks he wants included in the outputfile.
-
- Note
- ----
- - I also plan to code a stripper for LZH and LHA archives, but I
- really don't feel like working out the LZH/LHA structure like I did with
- the DMS archive, so if anyone has that information, I can be reached at the
- Future Project BBS in Belgium.
