Subject: Osborne System Disk..

HELP!!!

   It seems that one of my friends was doing some consulting work for a
firm that owns an Osborne computer.  OK, so what is the problem?

   The problem is that while my friend was on vacation the business
accidentally reformated the system disk.  Still no problem...

   Well, as it turns out the company forgot to mention that that copy
of the system disk was the only copy, the orginal disks that came with
the Osborne I were lost in a recent move.

   Now that is a problem, they still have a couple of bootable disks,
but no longer have such nices things as FORMAT, PIP, STAT, etc...
Can anybody help me out here...  I can probably supply them with
the more generic programs from my CPM library for my Heath, but I'm
afraid there is no way I can come up with FORMAT.  

   I will be more than willing to send someone a disk and mailer, if
someone could copy the stuff onto it and return it I would be very
happy.  I could probably come up with proof of ownership for the machine
if anyone wanted to see it.

Thanks,
-kevin
