>(1)  What software is available to break copy protection schemes and
>install programs on hard disk?  
>(2)  Does anyone know for sure whether these programs work with Reader
>Rabbit (or Kid's Time, for that matter)?

I forget what I did for KidsTime, but I think I used CopyIIMac for it.
(There had to be some reason I bought the CopyIIMac program, and I
think this was it.)  At any rate, we have a floppy copy that works and
also have it installed on our hard disk.  

I'm also interested in software recommendations for young kids.  We've
played with the IBM PC version of Reader Rabbit (I had to break the
copy protection in the executable to install it) and the games seem OK
but a bit too much drill-like.  MY ABCs (another IBMPC game that
required breaking copy protection) has much more of a sense of fun to
it but is for a kid at an earlier stage of letter recognition,
counting, etc.
