The program steps the heads across the full surface of the disk for user defined time period. The program is released to the public domain. They can be reached at: Microsystems Development 4100 Moorpark Ave. #104 San Jose, CA 95117 Phone (408)296-4000 FAX (408)296-5877 Of course, if you REALLY want to write the program yourself, best of luck.
