The Apple formatter has handled multiple partitions for as long as I can
remember.  Just hit the Partition button and take it from there.  (The A/UX
auto-setups will create an Eschatology partition, which you will probably
want to delete.)

As an aside someone on the A/UX newsgroup did some Think C compile tests a
couple of years ago and found that under MacOS the Apple disk drivers were
about 30% faster than most of the third party formatters' drivers.  I think
FWB came close, but *nobody* was faster than Apple.

I don't agree with the common wisdom that says the Apple formatter sucks.
Given the patch so it works on non-Apple drives, I think it is a decent
program without the clutter of features I don't need or care about.
