+=head1 NAME
+
+B<mkdos33fs> - create Apple II DOS 3.3 filesystems in a .dsk image
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<mkdos33fs> [-h] [-t tracks] [-s sectors] [-b blocksize] [-d filename] <image.dsk>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<mkdos33fs> creates an Apple II DOS 3.3 formatted disk image, and optionally
+copies the boot record from an external file to make a bootable disk.
+
+By default, a standard 5 1/4" DOS 3.3 image is created, with 35 tracks, 16
+sectors/track, and 256 bytes per sector.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over
+
+=item -h
+
+Shows help message.
+
+=item -t <B<tracks>>
+
+Create image with this many tracks (default 35). Must be at least
+18. Maximum number is determined by the formula B<(block_size-0x38)/2)>.
+
+=item -s <B<sectors>>
+
+Create image with this many sectors per track (default 16). Must be
+between 2 and 32.
+
+=item -s <B<block_size>>
+
+Create image with this many bytes per sector (default 256, which is also
+the minimum size). Non-standard block sizes are allowed (up to 65536),
+but generally aren't supported by actual Apple hardware or DOS.
+
+=item -d <B<file>>
+
+Copy 3 sectors' worth of data from B<file>. This can be used to create
+bootable images, which will slightly reduce the amount of free space in
+the image's filesystem.
