The enhanced FORMAT utility is designed to re-
place the original FORMAT utility supplied by
Microsoft. The new utility is capable of for-
matting a diskette just like the old one did,
but the new one can also format the higher
capacity diskettes used by the Elite Series
drives.
In order to get FORMAT running, you need to be
in CP/M command level. This is indicated by:
A>
being displayed by CP/M. The “A” would be which
ever drive is your current logged (default)
drive.
FORMAT is executed by typing:
<d> :FORMAT<RETURN>
with a diskette containing the new FORMAT util-
ity inserted into drive <d>.
FORMAT will sign-on by saying:
APPLE ][ CP/M
