The enhanced FORMAT utility is designed to re-
place the INIT command which is part of the
original DOS. The new utility is capable of
formatting a diskette just like INIT did, but
the new one can also format the higher capacity
diskettes used by the Elite Series drives.
To get into the FORMAT utility, boot up your
enhanced DOS diskette containing FORMAT and
type:
BRUN FORMAT
This will work under both Integer BASIC and
Applesoft BASIC.
Once DOS has loaded FORMAT, the utility will
sign on with:
