I was not talking about space on da pooter, but on the precious space
on your floppies which could have been used for other purposes if the
disk image was formatted to full capacity. I think you read my note
about wasting space the wrong way around.
We actually use -e (make full sized image) on all "os9 format"
commands (except the DW disks). Aren't they all full size?

rules.mak agrees.
