	------------------------------------------------------------
	This work is based on the NewFormat V1.00 by Dave Schreiber!
	------------------------------------------------------------

        PLEASE NOTE! THIS PROGRAM IS IN NO WAY PURE! DO NOT MAKE IT
        RESIDENT OR YOUR COMPUTER WILL EXPLODE!

        THIS FORMAT IMPLEMENTATION USES NSD64 COMMANDS TO DO THE 64BIT
        I/O ONLY! NO DIRECT TD64 SUPPORT!

	BACKUP YOUR DRIVE BEFORE USING THIS PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN
	TESTING IT WITH MY 6.4 GIG SEAGATE, IT MAY STILL CONTAIN BUGS.
	YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

	For some time ago I purchased 6.4GB Seagate Medalist but only
	to see that the part of the disk that exceeded 4GB border was
	unusable. I updated my scsi.device to 43.23 and FastFileSystem
	to 43.19 but although they support 64 bit device commands, you
	need a FORMAT command to support them, too.

	Because I didn't find any freeware Format replacement that could
	handle 64 bit addressing range, I decided to adapt the needed
	features in NewFormat by Dave Schreiber. Just because the command
	is just what I've been looking for, and besides, it had sources
	included with it.


	1.05-4 fixes following:
	-----------------------

        - Passing volume name through the ASL caused program not to
          resolve device message port. Thanks to Ignacio F. Gully for
          reporting this.
        - Assigns are now being filtered for security reasons. Less
          probable to format wrong disk.
        - Console and process requesters could have been blocked. This
          is fixed now.

	1.05-3 fixes following:
	-----------------------

        - Disks formatted from GUI were given wrong identifiers. This
          was probably long standing bug. Thanks to Ignacio F. Gully for
          the finding!


	1.05-2 fixes following:
	-----------------------

        - Due to compiler switch, GUI control turned out to be broken.
          Thanks to Ignacio F. Gully for reporting this.
        - Can now pick volume to be formatted (quick/dirty ASL addon).
          (megacz)


	1.05 fixes following:
	-----------------------

        - Reduced track memory usage to 64 kilos, thus also maxtransfer
          rate. Now it is possible to format IDE disks with ATA like
          setup(512 * 255 * 16) without probs using any 'scsi.device'.
          (megacz)

	Have fun, Format64 has been compiled with GCC 2.95-3
