Thanks for the suggestion, but formatting is actually pretty easy. We plan to implement it soon (Cliff knows when, but he's ill). Note that it's simple to write a DOS program that can format Mac floppies without knowing anything about the Mac filesystem; all the program has to do is dump a disk image from a blank Mac floppy onto the disk being formatted. The disk image for a blank Mac floppy compresses down to only a few Kbytes. -Mat
