		 I am trying to give you a possible way to do what you
		 want; to be able to give such advices, I first make
		 several assumptions that I will first list:

		 Assumptions :
		 1) On the original disks, there are invisible files
		    whose names are non-printable characters.
		 2) The software has a procedure installation that
		 let you install say 2 copies.

		 Workaround (possible)

		 1) first (trivial) case.
		    Install your software on a Mac and copy the
		    installed software. If the installation procedure 
		    isn't clever enough, it will not copy the invisible
		    files for the simple reason that all the macs are
		    differently organised.

		 2) If the installation procedure is clever enough to
		    copy those invisible files, it will copy them at
		    a place like the system folder, or the extension
		    folder. In that case, try to make a backup copy
		    of the whole disk with a backup program, and then
		    retrieve the invisible files on a diskette.
		    
		 In my opinion, the first should work.
		 I *KNOW* software for which that works.
		 If you have already tried that, forgive me.

		 Hope that helps.
