NAME              rkf -- format RKO3 disk pack

SYNOPSIS          rkf

DESCRIPTION       rkf formats a virgin disk pack. Because it destroys all
                  information on that pack, and because it is not interlocked
                  against file system activity on the pack, the rkf program
                  is not maintained in executable form. Instead the source
                  must be located and assembled.

FILES             none (uses physical I/O on drive 0).

SEE ALSO

DIAGNOSTICS       "error" is printed and a core image is produced if a write
                  error occurs. A copy of the RK status register is in
                  register 5.

BUGS              As mentioned, is not interlocked against system I/O; if I/O
                  is already occurring, it will be badly disrupted. In any
                  event, all information on the pack is destroyed.
