Short: Replacement for CBM's own Format command, with more features.
Author: Eric Sauvageau @ Fido 1:242/907.0
Uploader: dream@info.polymtl.ca
Type: utils/cdity
MFormat 1.6 is a disk formatter utility I wrote because I wasn't satisfied
with Commodore's Format command. I wanted to be able to install the disk
and to disable verifying (if I only want a quickly formatted disk for
unpacking some archive). I also wanted to be able to save my settings in a
prefs file, so I no longer have to always change the volume name to
something else than "Empty" when I've got tired of this name.
MFormat requires Kickstart 2.04 or better, and will use some 3.0 features
when runned under that version of the operating system. It is released as
Shareware - a fee of 10$ CAN (around 7$ US) is required for continuous use.
MFormat 1.6 features:
- Complete GUI (can also be used from Shell).
- Verify on/off option.
- Create Icons on/off option.
- Bootblock Install option.
- Auto_start function.
- Auto Incrementing Volume Name function.
- Preferences file.
- Support any device, from high-density floppies to CrossDOS (tm).
- Public Screen support.
- Device filter, for better security against accidental formatting.
Included Amigaguide documentation is in English and in French.
