I care, so I read this mail from David Chord...
 ss> No such program exists.  I have a FORMAT.COM, but no .EXE... 
 DC> Excuse me? I've seen several FORMAT.EXE's around. It *definetly*
 DC> exists. 
For which OS?
 ss> And by the way, the FORMAT command doesn't damage hardware.
 DC> Depends on the format. If you can get a low-level format done to an
 DC> IDE drive then it's about as usefull as a rock when it comes to
 DC> data storage. 
The FORMAT command included with DOS doesn't do low level formats.
