Please test if FORMAT now finally survives being run under MS kernel
without triggering incompatibilities with MS kernel for FAT32. The
Win9x DOS kernel provides "sketchy" default BPB but is on the other
hand very picky with all sorts of boot sector BPB content details :-(.

Please try to test soon - then I can fix bugs right now before announcing
the update to wider audience. Otherwise the fixes for 0.91p would have to
be called 0.91q (running out of alphabet letters ;-)).



todo list for tomorrow: Win98 bootdisk + freedos format + installing Win98
the first thing setup does is run scandisk.exe, so we'll know soon enough if FORMAT is acceptable.
after that only the MIRROR/UNFORMAT issue (was reversed, wasn't it??), and then the MIRROR/UNFORMAT code
can be removed from FORMAT and we'll have a nice SMALL format program :)


let's hope that SYS works, then.
