[comp.lang.pascal] formatting a disk in tpas 5.0

al@questar.QUESTAR.MN.ORG (Al Viall) (09/29/89)

Okay, since all the questions are going at full speed, here's one for anyone
who can tackle it.
Is there a way to write a program to format a disk using TP5.0.
Rather than using the standard format that comes with DOS, I would like to
write a formatter that does not have so much user intervention except to
change the disk. This would work on a two floppy system, A: and B:, an AT&T
6300pc.

Thanks,
 -Al-
