I read some time ago that someone thought that PCTools program "PCFormat"
would format DD 3.5" disks to 1.44Meg.  I tried it, and get a "Bad Address
Mark."  I am using the current version (5.5) of PCTools, and I was just
wondering if anyone has had success with this.

I know, I know, I SHOULD buy 1.44Meg disks for my data's security, but don't
flame me nor lecture me.  I've heard all that, and I appreciate the warnings.

Thanks for any help.
