	While I have usually had great luck with copy II mac, and even better
with MacBackup, the write protection scheme in Opcode products is just too
good. In other words, after considerable effort, I have never been able to 
back them up. If you find something which can do it, PLEASE let me know.

	Using MacTools, it appears that the write protection works by 
installing an invisible init/file into the system folder.
