- Written by Erik 'Stingray' Loman

-
- This version is a beta-release!!
-
-
- Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- MagicDMS.. What is it? Well, simple. "It's another user interface for the
- Disk-Masher System" I hear you say... Well you are totally wrong!
- This is not just another user interface. This one gives you power at your
- finger tips!
-
- General overview
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- - 100% pure assembler written.
- - Totally kewl interface, for MagicWB users and the standard OS2.0 lovers.
- MagicWB style looks a bit like MUI but it sertenly doesn't need it.
- I call mine EUI, and it's a lot easier to access it. It clicks nicer,
- it's quicker and you don't need MUI in your memory...
- Choice can be made at the 'preferences' window.
- - Every function of the DMS (short for Disk-Masher System) is supported.
- - Easy to use, click and go, even a morron can operate it.
- Multiple disks are compressed/decompressed so easy, if I were you I would
- start crying. The ease MagicDMS provides, wow!
- - Compressing, decompressing, repacking, info view and testing are fully
- supported. Banners, FILE_ID.DiZ, packing methods, passwords and every
- usefull DMS option are all in this fantastic utility.
- - MagicDMS is the first to support FileNotes. It's simple. You just enter
- some info about the software in/on the archive/disk and it's stored. You
- can easy change it by using for instance DOPUS, cause the info is stored
- as a comment.
- - Keyboard shortcuts.
-
-
- Quick installation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Copy the MagicDMS file into any dir you like. And it's ready to go.
- If you want a specific preference loaded when MagicDMS is started, place
- those specific .prefs and .options in your S:.
- Ehm.. And ofcourse you need the Disk-Masher System itself. A fine version
- is included in the archive.
- Copy the XHelevetica.font to your FONTS: (if not present yet).
- Create a .prefs file (start MagicDMS and click on Preferences). Don't forget
- to specify the DMS path (like C:DMS) and the output window.
- Output Window example: CON:44/14/552/210/MagicDMS - Output window
-
- PLay arround a bit and try to find some bugs and report those to me.
