QFORMAT -- Quick Format Disk
Version 1.00
Copyright (C) 1993 by George H. Mealy
This program erases the dictionary of any disk and unallocates
all data clusters. It does not, however, destroy bad cluster
marks. In addition, the DOS device parameter block is listed,
together with the boot record's volume label and serial number.
The form of the command line is
ZAP <device letter>
The user is warned if a hard disk is indicated. In any case, the
user is asked to confirm whether she really wants to zap the
disk. CHKDSK is invoked automatically to allow the user to
confirm that the disk was really zapped properly.
BRECORD <device letter>
merely lists the boot record information.
Borland C++ source code is included.

others provided that the complete package is copied and no more
than the reasonable cost of reproduction is charged. The author
