CMFormat: A Program for Formatting Any Floppy Disk by Charles F. Martin
Usage:
CMFormat is a simple, quick menu-driven program for formatting disks
in IBM-standard double- or high-density formats in 5.25" or 3.5"
drives. It verifies each track as well as the boot sector, initial
FATs and root directory table. It positively obliterates all data
on a previously formatted disk, and does NOT have "unformat"
capability. It will check for an existing format before it starts
formatting each disk, and if it finds a boot sector, it will warn
the user about the destruction of data, and ask for confirmation to
proceed.
Running:
At the DOS system prompt, just type CMFormat. Menus will ask for
which drive (A or B are the only choices), and (if more than one
density is available) which density [D(ouble) or H(igh)], and will
then prompt the user to insert a disk and press Enter to start
formatting. After formatting the disk, CMFormat asks if the user
wants to format another disk in the same drive/density, and, if not,
if the user wants to format another disk in a different
drive/density. If not, CMFormat exits to DOS.
