	This program is used to format RP0X disk packs under VMS control.
This utility should be run under the SYSTEM account only!

	It is necessary to use this version in order to guarantee that
packs purchased from vendors other than DEC can be formatted on all 19
surfaces.  For some reason the diagnostic formatters provided with
Release 1.0 of VMS will not format the 19th surface and BAD chokes on
a pack formatted with such diagnostic formatters.

	To use this program you must have a VMS operating system running
on a multi disk system.  Dismount the RP0X drive that you want to use
to put the unformatted pack in and put the pack in.

	ASS _DBA1: DRIVE
	RUN RPFMT
	...takes about 10 minutes
	DEASS DRIVE

	...then run BAD on the newly formatted pack
	MOU DBA1:/FOR
	MC BAD DB1:/LI
	...takes 20 - 30 minutes
	DISM DBA1:
