Date: 8 Jul 1993 20:09 PST Organization: San Diego State University Lines: 9 Distribution: world Message-ID: <8JUL199320092551@bestsd.sdsu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: 130.191.1.4 News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.4-b1 I've read about other unix systems that come with a program called "format" that is used to format disks. Why doesn't netbsd have this and since it doesn't have it is it really needed? If it is needed where can I get it? Please excuse if this is a FAQ. Send all email replies to warelock@netrun.cts.com
