.file extension DMS - Amiga compressed archive
File extension DMS description:
This is a floppy disk image compressed with DiskMasher, an Amiga disk compressor.
DMS (the Disk Masher System) is a proprietary Amiga disk archiving format that was widely used to store and distribute disk images before emulation became widespread. It supports built-in compression, and a few copy protection schemes. DMS is supported well on original Amiga systems, but remains less popular than ADF in the emulation community.

The Unarchiver
The Unarchiver is a much more capable replacement for "BOMArchiveHelper.app", the built-in archive unpacker program in Mac OS X. The Unarchiver is designed to handle many more formats than BOMArchiveHelper, and to better fit in with the design of the Finder. It can also handle filenames in foreign character sets, created with non-English versions of other operating systems. I personally find it useful for opening Japanese archives, but it should handle many other languages just as well.
It is very simple to use and install - simply copy it into your Applications folder or whereever you prefer, and then set archive filetypes to open using it. This can either be done the usual way, or by double-clicking the icon to show The Unarchiver's preferences.
Supported file formats include Zip, Tar-GZip, Tar-BZip2, Rar, 7-zip, LhA, StuffIt and many other more or less obscure formats
