NAME
       mformat - add an MSDOS filesystem to a low-level formatted diskette.

SYNOPSIS
       mformat [ -t tracks ] [ -h heads ] [ -s sectors ] [ -l volume label ] drive:

DESCRIPTION
       Mformat adds a minimal MSDOS filesystem (boot sector, FAT, and root directory) to a diskette that has already been formatted by a Unix low-
       level format.

       The follow options are supported:

       t      The number of tracks (not cylinders).

       h      The number of heads (sides).

       s      The number of sectors per track.

       l      An optional volume label.

       To format a diskette at a density other than the default, you must supply (at least) those command line parameters that are different  from
       the default.

BUGS
       Requires a low-level format utility from Unix.

       Doesn't detect (or record) bad block information.
