I am trying to add a minimal copy protection scheme to my program by
changing the sector numbers using the format bios call.  All the
books I read make reference to this as a way to do a simple copy
protection.  But all documentation is somewhat vague about the details
of doing this.  I am struggling to make it work.  Does anyone have
any code samples that explain how to do this???

Thank you.
