=head1 NAME
B<mkdos33fs> - create Apple II DOS 3.3 filesystems in a .dsk image
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<mkdos33fs> [-h] [-t tracks] [-s sectors] [-b blocksize] [-d filename] <image.dsk>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<mkdos33fs> creates an Apple II DOS 3.3 formatted disk image, and optionally
copies the boot record from an external file to make a bootable disk.
By default, a standard 5 1/4" DOS 3.3 image is created, with 35 tracks, 16
sectors/track, and 256 bytes per sector.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item -h
Shows help message.
=item -t <B<tracks>>
Create image with this many tracks (default 35). Must be at least
18. Maximum number is determined by the formula B<(block_size-0x38)/2)>.
=item -s <B<sectors>>
Create image with this many sectors per track (default 16). Must be
between 2 and 32.
=item -s <B<block_size>>
Create image with this many bytes per sector (default 256, which is also
the minimum size). Non-standard block sizes are allowed (up to 65536),
but generally aren't supported by actual Apple hardware or DOS.
=item -d <B<file>>
Copy 3 sectors' worth of data from B<file>. This can be used to create
bootable images, which will slightly reduce the amount of free space in
the image's filesystem.
