********** Floppy.exe description and capabilities *****************

If you have a DECpc300/400LP series PC with DECpc Bios Revision
earlier than 1.20, Floppy.exe will allow the user to read/write
and format a greater variety of floppy disk formats of 5 1/4" and
3 1/2" disks.

For example, if you need to do non-standard proprietary formatting,
floppy.exe will allow that capability as well as allow the use
of 2.88 M floppy drives.

Floppy.exe has a new routine which will solve the problem of 
reading some 5 1/4" 360k disks.

Floppy.exe will enable the user to use a number of formats 
including:

3 1/2"  720k, 1.2M, 1.44M, 2.88M
5 1/4"  360k, 720k, 1.2M
