Both you guys are correct.  Remember MicroSoft dropped copy protection on
ALL their software products in the not too distant past.  This includes
Microsoft Flight Simulator.  You can make backups of recent disks simply
by using a sector copy in Copy II Mac.  (I suppose you could drag it in
the Finder to a hard disk, but I don't trust the finder in copying possibly
strange files.)

Hope this helps clear up the situation --
