- MFormat 1.71 is a disk formatter utility I wrote because I wasn't satisfied
- with Commodore's Format command. I wanted to be able to install the disk
- and to disable verifying (if I only want a quickly formatted disk for
- unpacking some archive). I also wanted to be able to save my settings in a
- prefs file, so I no longer have to always change the volume name to
- something else than "Empty" when I've got tired of this name.
-
- MFormat requires Kickstart 2.04 or better, and will use some 3.x features
- when runned under that version of the operating system. It is released as
- Shareware - a fee of 10$ CAN (around 7$ US) is required for continuous use.
-
- MFormat 1.71 features:
-
- - Complete GUI (can also be used from Shell).
- - Verify on/off option.
- - Create Icons on/off option.
- - Bootblock Install option.
- - Auto_start function.
- - Auto Incrementing Volume Name function.
- - Preferences file.
- - Support any device, from high-density floppies to CrossDOS (tm).
- - Public Screen support.
- - Device filter, for better security against accidental formattings.
-
- Included Amigaguide documentation is in English and in French.
