You're not 'screwed' because you didn't get FDISK on the Tandy 2000 disk.
The 2000 came with a formatter for the HD, you don't need to buy 
separate programs to do what should have been done in the first place!

However, this does mean that you can't easily change the alocation size
on the 2000 HD.  What you can do is use something like ARC that is on
compuserve, it is VERY good at compressing files, and programs will
execute from the archive directory.  The only catch is that data bases
must be 'de-arced' before use, or the program rewritten to use the 
'arced' data.  I use version 4.3, and it runs fine on the T2K.
