Dynamic Format
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Congratulations on choosing a very useful program.
SCENARIO: You have a whole bunch of disks with no labels. You don't know what
is on them, so you do a DIR to be safe. This can be very BORING and
redundant so this is where Dynamic Format comes in.
Dynamic Format allows you to check the disk before formatting. It will then
nicely ask you if you want to continue with format. Now some disk formatters
aren't reliable and leave out bad sectors. So DFORMAT will search for DOS
format and use it to format the disk. This way you will always have a reliable
formatter as long as Microsoft (or IBM) keeps updating it.
BUT WAIT!
Not only that but formats can be kind of boring, especially if they are high
density 3.5s. So DFORMAT gives you the option of playing MOD (music) files
thru your PC Speaker OR SoundBlaster in the background while formatting.
What more could you ask for?
MORE!
OK, ok. DFORMAT has a PC Tools like interface so it's easy to use and cool to
look at and it also has some elements of Norton (like boxes). But you also
get Smart Return which returns you to the DOS prompt exactly where you left off
anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
MORE?!
DFORMAT will also check to make sure the disk is inserted (a la CP Backup)
before proceeding. If not, it will prompt you to insert the disk and will keep
scanning until you do.
I have included a MOD (music) file for you to play in case you don't have any.
[ESC] is the Quick Exit key.
SYNTAX:

DFORMAT [/REVERSE]
The optional /REVERSE switch tells DFORMAT to reverse the drive settings; the
default is A for 5.25 and B for 3.5.
