System name:		m16-034-14
Type and version:	POWER 7.7K
Display type:		POWER_Gt1

What were you trying to do?
	format a floppy disk using 
            cformat -mtools
        on IBM powerstation 220

What's wrong:
        disk is now *only* readable by this type of workstation, 
        can't be read on Sun workstations, nor on a different type
        of IBM workstation in my advisor's office.

What should have happened:


Please describe any relevant documentation references:
        olc answers says to use cformat -mtools on any workstation
        other than a sun sparcstation.
