[comp.os.cpm] FORMAT2.COM for Commodore 128

prindle@nadc.arpa (02/19/87)

PD:<CPM.C128>FORMAT2.COM is now on SIMTEL20.  This update for FORMAT.COM
supports generation of several MFM diskette formats in addition to the 3 GCR
formats previously supported.  As far as I know, nothing has been done to 
prevent wiping out the second side when one of the single side formats is
selected in 1571 mode.  You still need to force the drive into 1541 mode to
format flippy diskettes.

In one of the messages displayed by FORMAT2.COM, there is a misspelled word
"Doudle".  This is ok and does not mean you have a bad copy - just a slip of
the fingers by the author, no doubt.

Sincerely,
Frank Prindle
