Hi Ken,
Here's the eyecatcher from a DMS (CA-DISK) 12.5 disk archive. It's around
column 4744 on my release.
.DMSRELNOC ..........12.5
Hope this helps.

Subject: DMS Backup
I have a couple of old backup tapes from 1995ish that I believe were created
with a product called DMS.
The tapes are historical data from a series of company acquisitions so the
original creators are unavailable even to confirm that that was the software
used.
Does anyone know the history of DMS and if it is still available?
A search seems to point to CA-DISK as the current product but I cant be sure if
that is true or if there was another product by that name.
Does anyone know if there is an eyecatcher in the file contents that could
reasonably prove this is indeed a DMS backup (similar to the THAT'S ALL FOLKS
in FDR backups)?
Thanks all.
