	Here's an interesting problem.  I need to run IBM Writing Assistant
(A very old program--it's from the first days of the PC) on a machine that
doesn't have a 5.25" drive.  I either need to find out if there was ever a
version available on 3.5" diskettes (which I doubt) or if there is a way to
remove the copy protection so that I can transfer the program.  (I _do_ have
a genuine copy, with manual and everything.)  Anyone have any ideas?  The
installation program _won't_ let me install it to another floppy--it
recognizes that it's not a hard drive.  Thanks for any help anyone can
offer.
