Hi net,
In O.S. 1.3 there are new flags for sys:system/Format. Who knows
what INHIBIT option does? I've tried it but it seems make nothing.
I've seen INHIBIT as PARK option too.
Thanks in advance

This is why you get the 'DF0:BUSY' on the workbench when doing a diskcopy or format - DF0: has been inhibited. ***** =*|_o_o|\\=====Doug Walker, Software Distiller====== BBS: (919)471-6436 = *|. o.| || | o |// "I try to make everyone's day a little more surreal." ====== - Calvin (to Hobbes) usenet: ...mcnc!rti!sas!walker plink: dwalker bix: djwalker
