We picked up a utility called "SpeedStor" available from Storage Dimensions, Los Gatos, California at (408) 370-3304. It's really slick, menu-driven, and compatible with DOS2.0 to DOS3.2. I'm pretty sure this would meet your needs. It will perform all functions required, replacing DOS's fdisk and format operations. The documentation is good and the software seems very reliable. Hope this helps! -------------------------------David Witherspoon------------------------------- D.Witherspoon@Atlanta.NCR.COM | "Facts all come with points of view NCR Sys Engineering-Retail/Atlanta | Facts don't do what I want them to" MY OPINIONS...ALL MINE!!! | - Talking Heads
