Master Tracks Pro has a similar copy protection. Copy II Mac is unable to make backup floppies. However, if you eject the disk with a paper clip just before clicking "INSTALL" and write protect it, the program doesn't notice! So at least you don't lose an installation when you forget about it and run HD Tuneup. If I don't have a paper clip around, I just cover the write protect hole with a piece of paper, insert the disk, and pull the paper out at the correct time. All that trouble, and they overlook the paper clip trick. Amazing! Tim Smith
