Subject: DJ/2B FORMAT2 and SGEN Programs

       I've just uploaded the following programs to AR20:CPM --

CP/M Name      MIT-MC Name     Function
FORMAT2                DJFMT 10MAC     Formats DJ/2D Rev B disks with a few
               DJFMT 10COM             options beyond the FORMT# pgm
SGEN           DJSGEN 13MAC    Sysgens DJ/2D Rev B with a few options
               DJSGEN 13COM            beyond normal SYSGEN

       Since the DJ/2D uses 179x controller chips, these programs
(in source form) may be useful to non-DJ/2D users as well to give
them insight into how to use the 179x and program it.

       One nice option with both FORMAT2 and SGEN is that they support
immediate, non-prompted execution, so that they may be placed in a SUB
file and used without operator intervention.  For instance, FORMAT2 /A4
formats drive A: as format 4 (1024 bytes/block) and SGEN /AB copies the
system from A: to B:.  Additionally, SGEN adds a nice capability of
specifying a CP/M disk file as a destination (as opposed to the OS tracks
of a disk).

       Enjoy!
