I'm not sure this'll work, but try downloading the below file (zipped)

ftp://archives.thebbs.org/archive_compressors/mup118.zip

You can find it here.

Says it handles .md files, but obviously I can't check.

 

[Mr Marz]

i tried it already but for some reason that dos file wont run on my comp. thanks though.

It can also be a text file which the encoding was not properly done. Check with wordpad to see it. If the file is pretty small upload it so I can take a look.

 

[Mr Marz]

tried opening wit wordpad didnt work. just code. from what i understand its a compressed file format.

Hmm, me neither. Sorry, I don't know of any other tools.

.mds is a file exstention created by a program named Alcohol 120%

it is a proprietary image format.

 

[Mr Marz]

but its not an .mds file. its a .md file which is an outdated compressed file format. cant find a decompressor for it anywhere.

MD is a legit compressed file archive. MDCD generates files with the extension .MD I found a decompressor that should work but it is a DOS application It was written in 1988 and is the only program to my knowledge that uses this type of compression.
I have successfully compressed and decompressed a file with this program it is not Hard you just have to know how to work with the Command Line. If you need a list of commands private message me.

you need to know how to use DOS this is Freeware or an abandonware OS. XP has a DOS subsystem. Go to start click run and type CMD or Command. Heres the program MDCD.EXE http://rapidshare.de/files/1221570/mdcd10.zip.html


Program is called MDCD.EXE version 1.0
heres the link on information about the program the page is written in russian http://www-lat.compression.ru/arctest/self/mdcd.htm

MD compression is not the greatest when compared to RAR so my guess is whoever MDed it up if you will, did not want you to open it as MD never really cought on as a good compression.

It could also be a Meta Data file=that is not an archive
If you still cant get it open let somone else give it a try.

If it is not some ass renamed archive here is a site that lists some Info about programs that generate .md http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=.md&goButton=Go
