He mentioned having source for a format command under minix. My mail to him bounced (I think thats the right term, even though it did not even make it out of my organization). So: Kevin, I am interested in the source. Please post or mail me a copy(I hope you can get to me better than I can to you). Thanks. Bob McGowan (standard disclaimer, these are my own ...)
