It seems that BuildDOS is gone from NS3.0. So how does one explicitly build a DOS or MAC floppy? -- Gregory Lampshire Virginia Tech Bradley Department of Electrical Engineering gbol@rglnext.geol.vt.edu (NeXTmail welcome) ------------------------ My opinions are my very own and do not reflect the opinions of any employer

A panel will come up asking you either to initialize or eject (or cancel). If you click initialize, then the options (DOS, NeXT and Macintosh) can be selected.

Well, in the workspace manager you activate the Disk menu (I think) and pick Initialize or Format disk. Sorry, but I don't remember off the top of my head but it is in the menu. After the format Panel appears, look for the selection that says NeXT. When you click on this you will get the option selections for Mac and Dos format disks. That is it.

Click 'Initialize' from the Workspace 'Disk' menu. The panel that appears has a pop-up list from which you choose NeXT, DOS, or Macintosh format.
