I'm using a 'true blue' IBM PC XT that has developed some bad sectors on the
hard disk.  (10Mb disk, IBM controller).  Does anyone know where I can get
a program to do a low level format on the disk (don't say format c: -- it
doesn't do a real format).  If someone has such a program, do you think you
could uuencode it and mail it to me? (assuming it is public domain...)

Thanks a million!
