FMT is a utility to format 360KB, 1.2MB, 720KB and 1.44MB
diskettes. Features include no keyboard operation, serial number
and label assignment.
The serial number and label can be assigned incrementally with
a text file which stores the serial number and label for the
next diskette to be formatted. You can keep more than one text
file for this purpose. Before exit, FMT will update the file
automatically.
You type the program name at DOS prompt to start and press the
ESC key to end, no keystroke in between!
--------------------------- F 2 H --------------------------
F2H (FLOPPY TO HARD DISK) is a utility to copy a diskette to
hard disk or RAM disk at very high speed.
Testing results show that using DOS command XCOPY to copy the
whole floppy takes 90+% longer than using F2H! The saving of
using F2H will be even more when the directory structure is more
complicated or if there are more fragmented clusters on the
floppy. On a diskette with 21 sub directories and 13 files with
1 fragmented cluster, the time to make copy is 8 seconds for F2H
and 20 seconds for XCOPY, that's 150% saving!
--------------------------- H 2 F --------------------------
H2F (HARD DISK TO FLOPPY) is a utility to copy recursively from
current directory on hard disk or RAM disk to a diskette at very
high speed. This program combined with F2H is ideal for backing
up a small directory.
For a testing case with 21 sub directories and 14 files (total
size about 300 KB) the time to make copy for H2F vs XCOPY is
18 vs 53 seconds. In another testing example with no sub
directories and 36 files totaling about 300 KB, the time to
make copy for H2F vs XCOPY is 17 seconds vs 56 seconds.

SMART CLEAN is a utility to make full use of cleaning kits sold
by 3M, Memorex and other companies.
Without SMART CLEAN, all you can do is to use commands such as
DIR to get the disk drive moving and bring head into contact
with the cleaning disk and the cleaning solution on it. However,
there are two problems that only SMART CLEAN can help you.
Firstly, how many DIR commands you need to keep typing to keep
the disk head in contact with the cleaning disk for 30 to 60
seconds? SMART CLEAN "reads" both sides of diskette which means
when you see the track number SMART CLEAN shows on screen
changes from one to another it is the same as you type the DIR
commands twice. Try SMART CLEAN once and you will know how many
keystrokes it saves for you.
Secondly, since there is no data on the disk DOS will stop after
it fails to access the first track. This means you may only be
using 0.625% of the surface of your cleaning disk! (There are 80
tracks on a high density drive. Each track has two sides and you
are only using one side on the first track.)
SMART CLEAN not only forces your system to keep on "reading"
different tracks on the cleaning disk and thus clean the head
more thoroughly but also provides you simple and easy ways to
verify that it does what it claims. Your will have the
confidence that you give your diskette drive the best care
possible.

CHDK (CHECK DISKETTE) is a utility which gives detailed
information about a diskette. It shows you the information
contained in the system area of the diskette, check the
integrity of the system area, gives you detailed layout of
system area, root directory and data area and then give you a
report of the fragmentation on the diskette.
The program also shows you other important or interesting
information about a diskette. For example, it shows you the
sectors, clusters and tracks with active data, the software who
formatted the diskette, maximum number of root directory entries.

33 MHz 386 compatible system with Maxtor 7213AT hard
disk.
