In all fairness to the author, it might say something about this in the
documentation.  However, the software is so easy to use that I never looked
at it.

At the same time, give the nature of the program, and the fact it should
take an almost exact amount of time to write a disk image, giving that
amount of time would have been a good hint.

OTOH, the fact that even knowing I need to format the disk first I can't get
a working floppy created is enough to drive me crazy.  I should have been
smart and tried a different program to write the disk images...
