Thanks for the suggestion, but formatting is actually pretty easy. We
plan to implement it soon (Cliff knows when, but he's ill).
Note that it's simple to write a DOS program that can format Mac
floppies without knowing anything about the Mac filesystem; all the
program has to do is dump a disk image from a blank Mac floppy onto
the disk being formatted. The disk image for a blank Mac floppy
compresses down to only a few Kbytes.
