Subject: 5.25" disk format (Ampro)

I need to know the disk layout for an Ampro DSDD (single tracking)
386K formatted disk.  If anyone out there with the following info
could mail me same, I would be greatly appreciative.

I need to know -

       number of reserved tracks.
       size of allocation block (2K or 4K or 16K etc)
       number of directory entries
       if sector skew is needed (or if done during formatting)

A note went by regarding a file in the SIGM distribution that
purported to tell all about various 5.25" disk formats.  If
someone can identify a source of *that* for me, I'd also be
much appreciative.
