BHFormat-MorphOS 43.7

Short:        NSD-aware Format command with source
Author:       Pavel Fedin <sonic_amiga@rambler.ru>
Uploader:     Pavel Fedin <sonic_amiga rambler ru>
Type:         disk/misc
Version:      43.7
Architecture: ppc-morphos

BH Format is intended to be a compatible replacement for Format
under various operating systems of Amiga family with important additions:

* It can perform low-level formats (or fake formats, as they usually are)
  on drives larger than 4 GB.

* It will warn you if the device to be formatted is misconfigured or if
  your file-system or if your disk is too large for your current device
  driver or file-system to handle (only for m68k).

* It allows you to specify file-system type (DosType) and device flags
  directly.  This will be particularly useful in conjunction with firth-
  coming improvements to Francis Swift's XFS package.

* It can create a default disk icon, following the same rules as the
  DefIcons program from NewIcons does.

* It has a GUI (native MorphOS version lacks it), can be used as a module for
  ScalOS desktop.

It currently lacks localisation, some error reporting code, and good
documentation.  However, full source code is included and licensed
under the GNU GPL, so perhaps I can get some help with this...
                    
Please send bug reports, success reports, fixes and improvements to
me.
