a user-specified value

mformat command line
* easier way to enter sizes on mformat command line
(mformat -C -T 1440K)
* For small sizes, mformat assumes floppy geometries
(heads 1 or 2, tracks 40 or 80)
* Handle attempts to mformat too small filesystems more
gracefully
* Enable minfo to print out additional mformat command line
parameters, if the present filesystem uses non-default
values for these
