I have Version 4.0 of the Mace Utilities.  The documentation addresses
only unformatting of hard disks, not floppies.  But, since it does not
explicitly say that the floppies cannot be unformatted, I experimented
with trying to do so.  Not surprisingly, the experiment failed (after
a PC-DOS 3.1 format).  Furthermore, I then examined each sector of the
reformatted disk, and found that the information was gone.

Does this put the issue to rest?
