[[Hyperformat]] provided all the formatting parameters you'd ever want
to control,
ran in console (text) mode and wasn't exactly easy on the eyes.
Also, it used all kinds of low-level tricks to squeeze the most out of
the FDC. In short, it was a tool for people who really knew what they
were doing.

<nop>PumpUp was a conscious deviation from this approach: It still provided
lots of useful formatting parameters, but presented them in a nicer
GEM user interface. Also, it used operating system APIs to format the disks -
but often with an unusual twist. For example, using <nop>PumpUp you could
produce very _fast_ formats, i.e. formats which allowed to load programs
or data from the disk much faster. It also provided support for high-density
and overclocked FDCs, but always used OS services to accomplish this.

And the best of all its features: Its name .-)
