Is there a simple way to do a high level format to a floppy disk, from
a program (such as a C program) ?  I was hoping for a DOS or BIOS call,
but I can't find an obvious one.

Please reply via email to  --  paul@count.tct.com

Please do not post a follow-up, as I do not read this news group.  I already
spend too much time reading other news groups in my "work" day.
