Changes in Version 1.8:
Added /W switch to do a format without erase.
Added /Q and /U switches to work like DOS 5 FORMAT.
Added /A switch to force only BIOS calls to be used, when switching
the drive mode.
FDFORMAT now displays on the screen, how the drive mode is changed.
Added Volume Serial Number support.
Uses DOS switch char to call COMMAND-SHELL and allows switch char to
select options.
A special 8088-Version of FDREAD was added, which is required on some
XT systems.
Full extended Boot-Record as introduced in DOS 4 is now used.
Fixed problems with some Diskette-Cache Programs.
FDFORMAT, WIMAGE and READBOOT now output errors through the standard
error device of DOS.
Ctrl-Break ist now trapped.
New high loading technique for FDREAD, which allows loading high FDREAD on ANY 286
with DOS 5 and the DOS=HIGH option installed in CONFIG.SYS.
FDFORMAT 1.8 still does not support 2.88 MB drives. These will be supported in the
next version. The next version will support 2.88 MB drives for BIOS-Versions, which
do not support 2.88 MB drives.
