I would like some help sorting out the available disk formats.  I've used
Twister and given the explanation in the STart article, I have a lot of
confidence in it.  Recently, I tried using DCformat (especially for its
intelligent copy (I only have one disk drive while my HD is being repaired,
again :-( )).   The most significant thing about DCformat is that it allows
you to format 82 tracks per disk.  I also remember some people saying that
certain drives won't let the r/w head go that far -- I think mine is one.

Would some kind soul take the time to explain DCformat (especially when
are the options (sectors per track, tracks, side, etc) active).  If I
am doing a disk copy, do these options have any effect?

Also, I know have disks that have total storage of:

	815,600
	805,179
	695,891

and I'm think I have seen 82x,xxx or something like that.  Is there
a utility that I can use to determine how a disk is formated.

Thanks,
