[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] formating a diskette from w/n a program?

jamesh@cs.umr.edu (James Hartley) (06/20/91)

I would appreciate any information on detecting whether a diskette is
formatted and and what code is necessary to format the diskette if it
is found to be unformatted.  I would rather code these routines than
resort to MS-DOS system calls.  Thanks.
