I ftp'd fdform17.zip from wuarchive.wustl.edu.  The archive integrity is OK.
BUT...
fdformat crashes my system (AT -286 running 4-dos, dos 3.3)
If i run it without arguments, I get the help messages -> no crash
If i run it with junk arguments, I get a run-time error -> no crash
If i run it with valid arguments -> glorious crash.

I tried running it 	with/without fdread
			with/without himem.sys,smartdrv.sys

Can anyone help me out
Thanks in advance
Prasad
