What's to know?
On ALL versions of FORMAT that have /T:x/N:y, x and y do NOT set values,
they are used to select WHICH format from a list of supported ones.

How available is it? It was once included in the OEM adaptation kit for
2.11 and maybe 3.31. But I'd love to have a copy for newer version.
6.2x was my favorite version of DOS - "only time that the primary goal of
a new release of any MS product was to improve reliability over previous"
(as opposed to adding new features)
