WRP2DMS  
   -------

I.  Purpose of Script
	
	The purpose of this script is to convert those old warp files to
the newer DMS files.  You ask, "why do I need a script for that?  I can just
unwarp the old warp file and recompress it with DMS."  Well, that is a
possible method of converting the warp file to DMS.  By using this script,
the speed of the conversion can be considerably faster!  You ask, "how?"  By
using the RAD: disk.  The RAD: disk is very fast and it can be mounted to
operate like DF0, a 880k disk.  

II.  Requirements
	
	1.  An Amiga with at least 1 meg; more is suggested.
        2.  Two 3.5 drives; or, a Hard Drive.
        3.  Unwarp v1.01 or higher
        4.  DMS v1.02	
        5.  Mountlist for RAD: added to YOUR Mountlist (supplied in lzh)
        6.  Semi-Knowledge of DMS and Unwarp.

III.  How the Script Works

	The script is really simple.  The script starts out by
decompressing the warp file to RAD:.  Once the warp file is fully
decompressed, the script will then continue to compress the contents of
RAD: with DMS.  
 
   examples:
 
  usage: WRP2DMS [Warp file name] [DMS file name] [CMODE]
 
   WRP2DMS df0:NEWTEK_Demo.wrp df1:NEWTEK_Demo.dms 0
 
 -Two Drive Users

   -this would unwarp NEWTEK_Demo.wrp, contained on df0:, to RAD:, and then
    compress it using DMS with the name NEWTEK_Demo.dms and no compression.

   WRP2DMS df0:NEWTEK_Demo.wrp DF1:NEW_TEK_DEMO.dms 4
   
   -This would do the same as the last, but it would rename the file as
    NEW_TEK_DEMO.dms.  It would also use CMODE 4 instead of the standard 3.

  Note: The CMODE must be set! Just enter the # you want, but make sure
        you do enter the number.  If you do not, then DMS will compress
        with 0 compression! 
 
 -Hard Drive Users
 
   HardDrive users can omit the drive paths for the warp and DMS files. 
   Make sure that when you run the script that you are in the same
   directory as the warp file.  When the RAD: is compressed with DMS, the
   new file will also be saved in the same directory that you started in.
   If you would rather save the new DMS file to another directory, then
   just place a drive path infront of the new DMS filename.

IV.  Last Minute Notes

	Make sure to add the new RAD: mountlist to your mountlist.  Also,
make sure the script has been protected with "s" option (protect WRP2DMS
add +s". 

V.  Closing Notes
 
	Hopefully this script will help all those who do not want to pay
SDS Software to get their Warp-to-DMS conversion program.  I place this
script into Public Domain so that everyone can use it and enjoy it without
worrying about paying for it.  Change it to suit your needs if you want. 
The script is very basic and easy to understand.  --John Peck
