- FORM16.COM
- ==========
- 1.6MB IBM PC Disk formatter. (C) 1992 Quazar. V1.1 update/20th April 1992
-
-
- This program creates a 1.6MB formatted HD disk, suitable for Super Magicom,
- Super Magic Drive & Magic Super Griffin backup devices, or just normal
- everyday DOS usage.
-
-
- Usage:
-
- New for V1.1: Upon running the command FORM16, you will be asked if you wish
- to verify your formatting. If you choose NO, then your formatting will be
- considerably faster than without verify.
-
- Warning: There is no way of telling if your disk has successfully formatted
- without this option - so only use on trusted media, and at your own risk! Do
- you want your best console game to go onto a unverified disk?!!!
-
- You will then be asked which drive (A or B) you would like to format, and then
- to confirm you are ready to begin, or abort.
-
- After the disk is formatted and checked, you will be asked to enter a name for
- the disk. This can be a maximum of 11 characters.
-
- Finally, you will be asked if you would like to format another disk, or quit
- the program. Formatting will commence on the same drive as you originally
- selected. If you would like to change to a different drive, quit the program
- and begin again.
-
- New for V1.1: If at any prompt through the program you type QUIT, the program
- will exit immediately.
-
- **Remember to run 16READ.COM in your AUTOEXEC.BAT, to ensure that you can
- read/write the 1.6MB disks after re-booting**
-
- Note: The command FDATA.COM is the actual module that FORM16.COM uses to
- format the disks, but cannot be run directly. The idea of this 'module'
- format is so that future updates can be integrated within the main program,
- for example, future disk formats (2MB) etc..

-
- Other new features for V1.1:
-
- Extra error checking...
-
- Version 1.1 of Form16 now incorporates enhanced error checking, which means
- any error that occurs during the usage of the program will now return an error
- code. If you get one of these errors then leave a message to either Quazar or
- Executioner on the boards mentioned below.
-
- If you get an "Out of Memory" error, first reset the computer and re-try. If
- you continue to have this problem then quit all TSR programs running in memory
- and try again.
