BH Format is intended to be a compatible replacement for Format
under various operating systems of Amiga family with important additions:
* It can perform low-level formats (or fake formats, as they usually are)
on drives larger than 4 GB.
* It will warn you if the device to be formatted is misconfigured or if
your file-system or if your disk is too large for your current device
driver or file-system to handle (only for m68k).
* It allows you to specify file-system type (DosType) and device flags
directly. This will be particularly useful in conjunction with firth-
coming improvements to Francis Swift's XFS package.
* It can create a default disk icon, following the same rules as the
DefIcons program from NewIcons does.
* It has a GUI (native MorphOS version lacks it), can be used as a module for
ScalOS desktop.
It currently lacks localisation, some error reporting code, and good
documentation. However, full source code is included and licensed
under the GNU GPL, so perhaps I can get some help with this...
Please send bug reports, success reports, fixes and improvements to
me.
