Short: Auto 'format' for unformatted/bad disks.
Type: os20/cdity
Uploader: tser1506@cdc835.cdc.polimi.it

CatchDisk is a simple commodity: its purpouse is to detect when a new disk
is inserted in any drive and check if it is properly formatted: if not,
CatchDisk executes the Format program with the drive, in which the disk was
inserted, already selected. The user has only to choose the format options and
start or abort the operation.
CatchDisk supports the localization feature of AmigaOS 2.1 and later, and can
recognize non-Amiga disk formats (such as MS-DOS) if you have the proper
dos-driver (e.g. PCx: etc.).
Version 1.10 fixes some bug and has the ability to periodically rescan the
selected devices to detect bad disks,for example newly FMS-mounted disks, which
don't send the 'diskinserted' message.
IMPORTANT
---------
To use CatchDisk you must have the WBStart-Handler in you L: directory. You
need VERSION 1.4 OR LATER of the handler. WBStart-Handler is a freely
distributable software by Stefan Becker: you can find it as 'WBStart1_4.lha'
in many FTP sites or from PD distributors. Please note that the version
required is at least v1.4, because previous versions had problems when dealing
with null locks.
