We have a comms program here which uses a software protection scheme that
creates a directory called SUPERLOK.300.  Unfortunately, the installation
software won't install on our network (probably trying to write funny sectors
or something).  We haven't been able to find an alternative piece of software
that does the terminal emulation we want.

Does anyone know how to defeat this nasty little feature?

We only have one connection to the machine we will use it with, so we won't be
running more than one copy of the program at any one time.

Thanks,

Peter S.
