   There used to be a program called HyperFormatter.  I think it was
   written by Jerry Hewett of Living Legends Software.  I don't know
   where you could get it, though, or how to contact Living Legends. 
   You might try one of the ftp sites, since I think HyperFormatter
   was shareware.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember someone saying that Shrinkit
uses HyperFormatter to format 5 1/4" disks...  you might want to get
in contact with Andy Nicholas about the details...

P.S.  howard, how you doing?
