Utrecht, April 1990.

This file accompanies FORMAT v 2.04.

FORMAT has the following features:
        - program and accessory in one;
        - various formats:
                - single/double sided
                - 40/80/81/82/83 tracks
                - 9/10 sectors
        - as an accessory it can format disks in the background;
        - can create MS-DOS compatible disks;
        - can create immune (virusresistant) disks;
        - can use an external bootsector file as prototype bootsector;
        - formats in reversed order;
        - can format two disks at once.

Files:
        - FORMAT.PRG of FORMAT.ACC
        - SAVEBOOT.PRG
        - FORMAT.TXT

First thing FORMAT does when executed is try to read the file FORMAT.BT.
If available, this file is used as a prototype for the creation of bootsectors.
If not available the user can choose between MS-DOS and ST-Immune bootsectors.

Disks are always tried to be formatted MS-DOS readable (even if they don't get
the MS-DOS bootsector).
The utility program SAVEBOOT can save bootsectors to FORMAT.BT; just choose
a drive.
