***************The WetSpot BBS (805)736-7066************************
The intelligent formatting program.
As found in the current copy of Dos magazine.
This FORMAT.BAT file does several things that the format command
should do. It asks which drive you want to format, tells you if
that disk has already been formatted, it tells you if the disk
is in the drive and formats the disk for you. As of yet this
batch file will only format at the rate your computer expects
to format at. If you wish to format low denisty disks you'll have
to do it the regular way until we get the needed commands added
to make those determinations for you....As a caution this batch
file WILL NOT format your hard drive.
The inventory for this program should be as follows in the sizes
stated.
INSTALL.BAT 284K 4-30-93 **SEE NOTE BELOW**
ENTERN 5K 4-30-93
GETDRIVE.SCR 288K 4-30-93
GETDRIVE.COM 62K 4-30-93
DISKIN.SCR 242K 4-30-93
DISKIN.COM 55K 4-30-93
ASK.SCR 360K 4-30-93
ASK.COM 88K 4-30-93
FORMAT.BAT 1056K 4-30-93
READ.ME 2260K 4-30-93
