This translates to:
====================================================
Double DOS reads both 13- and 16-sector diskettes
and adjusts itself automatically!!
'INIT' has been removed and replaced with 'FORMAT',
which tells which diskette format Double DOS
currently is adjusted to.
====================================================
So with Double DOS installed, access any 13- or 16-sector
diskette (not copy protected), and then type FORMAT to
find out whether it's a 13- or 16-sector diskette.
