This is a "shell" for the DOS FORMAT program.
It prevents use of the /AUTOTEST parameter, as well as
formatting of drives C: and above. In other words, only
drives A: and B: may be formatted.
A possible way to use this is demonstrated in the batch file
(FORMAT.BAT) I have included.
To =test= the .BAT and .EXE,
1) substitute a harmless command such as DIR for msformat in the batch file.
2) REName FORMAT.COM to MSFORMAT.COM
3) then, enter FORMAT c:
4) you should get an error message because of the c:
5) if not, DO NOT use this program. It will not work.
To =use= the .BAT and .EXE,
1) REName FORMAT.COM to MSFORMAT.COM
2) make regular backups !!!
3) enter FORMAT and the necessary parameters as you usually would
