FFFF.EXE Fast False Floppy Formatter
This is a program to do a quick scrub of a floppy disk directory.
FFFF requires at least one parameter, namely a floppy disk identifier so
a minimal invocation would be something like
ffff a
or
ffff b
The above forms of the command will effectively clear the directory and
FAT of the nominated disk. This is equivalent to reformatting the disk
but only works on a used disk. It is MUCH faster than a true reformat.
If the disk has a volume label it will be removed. To keep any existing
volume label issue a command of the form
ffff a /v
or
ffff b /v
and to force a new volume label just stick it onto the end of the command
ffff a /v new_label
If spaces are wanted inside the label just enclose the volume label in
quotes:
ffff a /v "new label"
FFFF will not clear clusters marked in the FAT as faulty.
This is a FAPI program.
FFFF is tri-lingual. It knows English, French and Dutch and talks to you
in one of those languages if your country code is set appropriately. The
default language is English. If someone wants to add Italian, Spanish or
anything else, feel free, and re-submit to the public domain.

Voilà une programme pour effacer rapidement les fichiers d'une disquette.
FFFF demands à moins d'une paramêtre sur la ligne de commande. Vous devez
donner la nom d'un lecteur de disquettes.
