Why do people always want to clutter up their memory with TSR's when a
simpler solution exists.

Rename the commands to something less intutitive, like !FORMAT. If you
want, you can edit command.com with a bit editor so the name is changed
slightly for the resident commands. This would take up NO extra memory,
and allow for the same effect.
