  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.

Jay, I'd be very interested to know more about that.  I never heard of it
before, and I thought I had a pretty comprehensive collection of the PDP-11
(including microPDP-11) diagnostics.  Was it standard issue with a
particular model?  Is there a date on it?
