     In 1067.3.5080.2, jdp@killer.UUCP asks if problems with the FORMAT
command have been fixed in 1.3 or by the ARP command.

     I do not have 1.3, but do use ARP, and came across the Format Failed
return code 20 problem.  The FORMAT command was not included in a batch
file, it was just plain executed in the CLI.  The command was:

                    FORMAT drive df0: name "Communications Programs"

     Everything worked as expected if I used a single word for the disk
name without quotes (as in . . . name NewFloppy).
