TFORMAT - The TrueFFS Format Utility
Before TrueFFS can access a Flash medium, the medium must be formatted, just as a
floppy disk must be formatted. Formatting initializes the medium and writes to it a
new and empty DOS file system. When formatting is complete, the medium contains
only a root directory.
The DOS FORMAT command cannot be used for formatting Flash media driven by
TFFS.COM.
The medium may be formatted more than once. However, all data on the medium is
destroyed each time it is formatted. When reformatting, the boot-image is retained
by default, although it may be deleted or reallocated by various TFORMAT options.
