[Coco] Files to os9

[Ron Bihler]

Thanks,
I was using toolshed, the format command syntax was different and I didn't 
use the help provided. :)  Example under os9 Format /d0 2 '80' track is 
double sided format with 80 tracks.  Under toolshed os9 format 
disk.dsk. -ds -t80 is the same thing.

Under OS9 or Nitros9 it's not a problem.  Format and Dmode work great.

Ron
