Special Requirements:

FormatSFS uses AWNPipe: By Bill Parker to create a ClassAct GUI .  AWNPipe comes
with AWeb or follow this link ..
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/awnpipe/bill/AWNP2.23.lha
this is the Most recent public version.

it also uses...
 'rexxsupport.library' (to get the active screen name)and
 'rexxtricks.library'  (to save the settings to itself rather than env:)

All these things are in the archive all you'll need
if you don't already have it is SmartFileSystem

----------------------------------------

FormatSFS has all of these features..

1.
it uses SFSQuery to get a list of All SFS Partitions,
(it's the best way i could find to eliminate other devices from the list)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

2. it can call HDToolbox to set your RigidDiskBlock

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

3.
Default volume name starts as 'Empty' or can be set to the Devices Name.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

4.
a CheckBox gadget switches CaseSensitivity ON/OFF

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

5.
A pop-up menu Toggles between Hide Recycled  Show Recycled  No Recycled

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

6.
There are 3 settings you can set...

SFSCommands Path       :  eg. C:
HDToolBox Path         :  eg. sys:tools/HDToolBox
Default New Device Name:  eg. Empty

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

7.
I have added 3 Extra commands to the GUI..
you can start SFSQuery , SFSDeFragmentGUI or SFSCheck from the GUI.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I hope this is as usefull to you ppl as it is for me.

PS. if you find any minor/major bugs please let me know.



DISCLAIMER:

I will not accept any responsibility for loss of data , before FormatSFS
executes the SFSFormat command it displays the command it's going to run so
you should be OK :)
