Hi,

even SFS is not brand new, it`s an amazing piece of software!
In order to securely erase/convert the "old" data to an
SFS volume, I tired to use the wipe option.

The commmand: "mksfs volume=data d: wipe" generates/produces
the following error code:

Error - internal error, please contact the SFS author
DOS error code is 1

My question:
Is that command wrong, or is there a newer version than V 1.17
of SFS available ?

Any tip or help is appreaciated!

John
