FORMAT
------

Format:      FORMAT [d:]

Purpose:     Formats (initializes) a disk.

Use:	     The  specified or default drive is formatted,  and  all
	data on the disk will be destroyed.

	     After  giving  a  FORMAT  command,  an  option  may  be
	prompted for, allowing the required format of the disk to be
	selected.  The exact nature of these prompts depends on  the
	manufacturer of the MSX machine.

	     After formatting, there will be no files or directories
	on  the disk,  and the maximum amount of disk space will  be
	free. The disk will not have a volume name, but can be given
	one with the VOL command.  To turn the disk into a boot disk
	so  that  MSX-DOS  can  be started up  from  it,  the  files
	MSXDOS2.SYS and COMMAND2.COM must be copied onto it with the
	COPY command.

Examples:

	FORMAT B:
	1 - Single sided
	2 - Double sided
	? 2
	All data on drive B: will be destroyed
	Press any key to continue...

	     The  command was given to format the disk in drive  B:.
	In  this case,  the options available were to select  either
	double sided or single sided, and double sided was selected.
	The standard warning prompt was then printed.

	FORMAT

	     This  will  format the current drive after the  prompts
	given above.
