Message-ID: <616@unm-cvax.UUCP> Date: Wed, 1-Feb-84 19:03:07 EST Article-I.D.: unm-cvax.616 Posted: Wed Feb 1 19:03:07 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 8-Feb-84 02:24:55 EST Organization: Univ. of New Mexico, Albuquerque Lines: 26 First: I don't copy every game i get my hands on but I know a lot about copying because I backup a lot of my own software and some of my friends for them. There are only two ways people copy software. One is with software and one is with hardware. First the software. SOFTWARE 1) LOCKSMITH 4.1 ($80.00-$100.00) - Just for copying. 2) COPY ][ PLUS ($39.00) - A full DOS system including disk copying and disk organizing. both of the the programs have with them copy lists and instructions how to copy them but i recommend the copy program COPY ][ PLUS. HARDWARE There are many hardware boards used for copying but the problems with such boards is that they can only copy TOTAL LOAD programs. WHat i mean is that if the program loads itself in and then runs without ever using the disk again then it is a TOTAL LOAD program. The boards are almost useless on most good software but they are still there and run about $129.00 to $300.00 . I hope I have helped you. If you have any questions you can mail directly to me.
