Um, bzzzzt. Wrong. I have a floppy labeled: BL-FN7AP-MC CZFNAP0 M-11
FORMTR RX50 . This is a formatter program for a Micro PDP-11.
It is a *diagnostic* program (not a user program) for formatting these
beasties. Mine is for the -11, I would imagine that there is one for the
MicroVAX as well.
Of course, it is copyrighted.
