A few issues back I posted a plea for help in restoring the manufacturers
media defect list for a disk I had formatted once too often. The replies
I received fell into these categories:
1) format(8) under SunOS 4.0 has an option for this.
2) The obvious arithmetic involving (byte % 600) etc. should work for
converting cc/hh/byte/nbits to cc/hh/sss.
3) The 3.2 release notes manual (always my first stop for questions about
3.5) actually describes diag's sformat command, which also has an option
for this.
Thanks to all who responded.
