Subject: Q: Error in DMS

Hello,

I have a DMS version 1.02. Last week, I got some .dms files from
ab20.larc.nasa.gov (like Budbrain demo) and I unmashed it very well.
They work fine. (I recomend especially Budbrain)

Yesterday, I requested some others from same site. But I can't
unmash them ! (with DMS WRITE RAM:.....dms)
DMS gives an error: Info header not found. Invalid DMS archive.
                    Fatal error !
But, but their TEST and VIEW don't give any error. Test and view say
this is a DMS archive, info header at d659 and archive is OK !
But WRITE option doesn't think like TEST and VIEW !
(Names of these archs Genesis, budvscrio, crusaders.eurochart.91)

Another point, the expanded size of each archive file more than 880K !
(compressed size over 600 K.)
But VIEW says lo-track:0, hi-track:79 ! Can DMS expand it into one
floppy ? Are there more than 11 sectors ?
(notice, dms.doc says DMS doesn't process with HD.)

Any information will be helpfull. Thanks

Cem
