Re: How the heck do you format a disk with ProDos?

INIT works under good old DOS 3.3.  I don't think ProDOS ever implimented 
a formatting command; you have to use a separate utility.  (Copy ][+ is 
nice since you can format as either DOS 3.3 or ProDOS.)

I went straight from DOS 3.3 to GS/OS, so you'll have to excuse any 
misinformation I might spout about ProDOS.  :)
