There have been a number of messages about how MacPascal's copy protection
scheme can cause apparent failure of the disk.  The problem seems to be
particularly severe when a MacPascal is used on several different machines,
e.g., in teaching.  One simple solution is to use good 'ole Copy II to
revive dead MacPascal disks.  (Copy a good MacPascal disk to the dead
MacPascal disk.)

It works.  It is within the spirit (I'm not a lawyer, so I can't comment
as to the letter) of the MacPascal license.  I hope this is helpful (and
legal).  It's certainly an ethical, effective, and inexpensive solution.
