16              Use the given CP/M disk format instead of the default format.

18       -b bootblock
19              Write  the  contents  of the file bootblock to the system tracks
20              instead of filling them with 0xe5.  This option can be  used  up
21              to  four  times.   The file contents (typically boot block, CCP,
22              BDOS and BIOS) are written to sequential sectors,  padding  with
23              0xe5 if needed.

25       -L label
26              Label the file system.  This is only supported by CP/M Plus.
