SSDFMT 1.0a

This is a minor re-release of SSDFMT mainly to improve documentation.

SSDFMT now supports Windows NT/2k/XP via a new tool POSTNTFS.EXE to help avoid mistakes causing data loss.

(Starting Windows Vista, SSDs are supported out of the box; you have no need of a third party tool.)

FORMATHD is unchanged; get it from the previous release.

SSDFMT 1.0 and FORMATHD 2.0.1

Minor bugs were fixed in FORMATHD 2.0.1; perhaps the most important is the document file is now called FORMATHD.TXT rather than README.TXT, which matters when you're dealing with floppy disks and no directories.

This release is also the first release of SSDFMT ; which brings minimal SSD support to DOS. This tool is essentially a partition and quickformat tool that only supports SSDs; however it knows about alignment and fixes the major problem with DOS on SSDs; that of misaligned filesystems and misaligned writes sucking away your disk performance.

SSDFMT fixes the totally nonsensical problem of losing power while writing to one file corrupting an unrelated file because it happened to be adjacent on the disk. You must know your actual sector size; SSDFMT will prompt for it.
