| 800K.ZIP | Yes | 9917 | 6/22/1989 | 800K lets you format a regular, inexpensive 5.25" disk to 800k on a 1.2meg drive. In our tests, it worked fine for copying and working on files. CHKDSK didn't like what was going on, complaining of lost clusters, but when we ignored that and kept working, we had no problems. (Alan Jones) (Reg.Fee: $?) |
| AJUTIL2.ZIP | Yes | 41082 | 6/22/1989 | AJUtil is a set of utilities. Most of the utilities duplicate the functions of utilities already in the library, but a couple of the are interesting. One is DISKDUP that will do fast copying of all types of floppies - 360k, 1.2meg or 3.5" - by creating an image of the disk file on a hard disk and copying repeatedly to the floppy. Another program, DISKEMU, lets the image on the hard disk emulate a floppy disk drive that you can write to, delete from, etc, before making the disk copies. (Alan Jones) (Reg.Fee: $?) |

| DISKID.ZIP | Yes | 4030 | 8/21/1991 | DiskID 2.1 displays and alters the diskette serial number and volume label on floppy disks which have been formatted using FORMAT.COM from DOS 4+ or a compatible disk format program. (Gerald A. Monroe) (Reg.Fee: $?) |
| DM.ZIP | Yes | 74431 | 8/1/1989 | DM 1.22 is a complete diskette mastering system for making small numbers of copies of disks. It reads the master disk, including the boot sectors and any subdirectories and their contents, into a disk-image file on your hard disk and makes copies from that file. This is faster than floppy-to-floppy copying, but many additional features are built in as well. DM is not intended for making even small numbers of multiple copies of disks at one sitting. You must individually ask for each copy wanted. Other programs in the library will let you specify the number that you want and optionally will alternate between two drives to speed up copying. A typical ideal application of DM would be for a user group to store its library of disks in image files on a hard disk. DM will display an "inventory" list of available disk images. It will format a floppy (without having to worry about someone formatting the hard disk). It shows information about your diskettes, has a head-cleaning routine built in, and let (Mark Boler) (Reg.Fee: $25) |
| DRIVPARM.ZIP | Yes | 20106 | 6/22/1989 | DrivParm allows you to modify your disk parameters in memory, mainly for formatting disks.

| EXTRACT.ZIP | Yes | 31535 | 1/14/1994 | Extract 2.0 extracts a file from floppy disk images created on hard disk by WinImage, DCF, DF, Sabdu, etc. These programs create floppy disk image files for faster disk duplication, but the contents of image files cannot be accessed normally. (Gilles Vollant) (ASP) (Reg.Fee: $20) |
| EZ4MAT.ZIP | Yes | 4848 | 11/11/1993 | EZ4MAT 3.0 quickly and easily formats floppy disks on drives A or B in sizes 360K, 720K, 1.2M and 1.44M floppies. A unique feature of this disk formatter is that EZ4MATted disks force the boot process to fall through to your C: drive whenever you happen to leave a disk in drive A: during bootup. You'll never be nagged by that "Non-System disk or disk error" message again. (William Cravener) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| EZDK401C.ZIP | Yes | 139086 | 11/8/1993 | EZ-DisKlone 4.01c performs single pass disk duplications. (Ed Marion) (Reg.Fee: $37-42) |
| FASTCOP.ZIP | Yes | 12116 | 6/22/1989 | Fastcopy speeds up the making of multiple copies of a single disk by alternating drives so that you can be changing disks in one drive while the other drive copies. Naturally, you need enough free RAM to hold the contents of the disk in memory. (Jim Nech) (Reg.Fee: $?) |
| FDFORM.ZIP | Yes | 109000 | 9/28/1993 | FDFormat 1.8 is a disk formatter with many features. It allows you to do a format without erasing the disk, force only BIOS calls to be used when switching drive mode, support for volume serial number and more. (Christoph H. Hochstatter) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| FDREAD.ZIP | Yes | 20442 | 6/30/1990 | FDRead 1.20cj works with utilities that allow you to format disks beyond their rated capacity. Such utilities normally require a TSR to allow you to read/write the disk once formatted. FDRead 1.20cj is a modification of a program by C. Hochstatter that accompanied his FDFormat utility. The improvements in this version include the ability to load as a TSR or a device driver; protection against multiple loadings; the ability to toggle it on and off; and the ability to work with other similar utilities such as PCShell. Assembler source is included. (Jack, H. Jr. Hazlehurst) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
| FORDSK.ZIP | Yes | 6371 | 6/22/1989 | Fordsk is the most powerful floppy disk formatting utility available in the PD/shareware area. In addition to doing fast formatting with or without verification, it will let you specify cluster size and number of directory entries, FAT's, sectors per track, tracks per disk, and hidden sectors. Changing these from the defaults will usually mean that DOS and normal software cannot read the disk. However, if you can program in a low-level language, you will recognize this utility as giving you the power to create a copy-protected disk. While copy-protection of commercial software is generally futile, it could come in handy for your personal data security applications. For example, you could store sensitive data onto disks that other people could not read without your program. (Eric Tauck) (Reg.Fee: $?) |
| FORM360.ZIP | Yes | 30407 | 6/22/1989 | Form360 allows for reliable formatting of 360k disks on 1.2 meg drives.

| MASTER20.ZIP | Yes | 67513 | 11/15/1993 | Master Disk 2.0 is a utility for testing and preparing a disk for duplication. (Doren Rosenthal) (ASP) (Reg.Fee: $179) |
| MAXI.ZIP | Yes | 55823 | 2/9/1992 | Maxi Form 1.7 lets you put 420k on a 360k disk, 800k on a 720k disk, 1.4meg on a 1.2meg disk or 1.6meg on a 1.44meg disk. It also features support for "360k" disks to 800k in a 1.2meg drive. The formatted disk can be read without any special drivers in most close compatibles and a driver is provided for other machines. The disk verify method writes data to a track when verifying it instead of just trying to read it. CHKDSK reports correctly and everything seems to work as advertised. (Miklos Garamszeghy) (ASP) (Reg.Fee: $10) |

| MULTCOP.ZIP | Yes | 15893 | 6/22/1989 | Multcopy makes multiple disk copies from a single disk read. This saves a lot of time over DISKCOPY which must re-read the source for each copy made. On the Disk Drive Utilities disk, we already have a program named Fastcopy that will make multiple copies and does it faster, but it is also a little more cranky, in that it will not copy single-sided disks and it rejects any marginal disks. (Reg.Fee: $?) |
| NBFORM.ZIP | Yes | 73298 | 6/22/1989 | No Bells & Whistles Format Filter prevents any drive formatting operations from taking place on any drives specified by the user as being protected. Optionally, you can allow formatting of certain drives, but only with specified format switches (options). Required: DOS 3+ and a drive C:. (Steve Conroy) (Reg.Fee: $5-$10) |
| ONEPASS.ZIP | Yes | 37699 | 10/3/1990 | OnePass is a disk copying utility that will make multiple copies with one reading.
