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.
