                      6: 
                      7:     This program is designed to show how to access a physical floppy
                      8:     disk using the Win32 API set.
                      9: 
                     10:     This program has two major functions.
                     11: 
                     12:         - It can be used to display the geometry of a disk
                     13: 
                     14:             mfmt -g a:
                     15: 
                     16:         - It can be used to produce a disk image, or to write a disk
                     17:           image to a floppy.
                     18: 
                     19:             mfmt -c a: bootdisk         - produce a disk image of a:
                     20: 
                     21:             mfmt -c bootdisk a:         - make a: identical to bootdisk image
                     22: 
                     23:     This program is very very simple. Minimal error checking is done. It is

                     25: 
                     26:         - Open a physical disk
                     27: 
                     28:         - Read a disk's geometry
                     29: 
                     30:         - Perform a low level format operation
                     31: 
                     32:         - read and write physical sectors
