Lotus Symphony should report 2 sectors with missing data address marks and 33 sectors with bad CRC. Some customers have configuration problems when taking a copy of Lotus 1-2-3 from a friend's computer to their own. We support customers who make back up copies, not pirates. If the copy works on the friend's computer, CopyWrite has made a good copy. CopyWrite does not copy some forgeries of Lotus 1-2-3 made by other copy programs. We do not plan to fix this, since it would only help pirates who never owned an original diskette. CopyWrite makes back up copies of the Microsoft Word. It does not copy forgeries of the Microsoft Word made by some other copy programs. We do not plan to fix this, for the same reasons given for Lotus 1-2-3. Microsoft Word 1.1 has the copy protection on track 39 under the second head. On some Tandon drives, including one at Quaid Software, the head is poorly adjusted in this area. If you have problems, use another drive. Power-base is a Prolok disk. On an XT, you need to run ramkey before loading a copy of the USE disk. On a PC, in addition to using ramkey, you must have a DOS format diskette in drive b: when loading power-base. The Concentric Information Processor and Bank President are not Prolok diskettes, but you must use ramkey to run them. Follow the instructions for Prolok in your manual. Spinnaker: In Search of the Most Amazing Thing is a flippy diskette. Tell CopyWrite to copy one side, then turn it over and tell CopyWrite to copy one side again, on to another target. Davidson Math Blaster and Speed Reader II are not copy protected, and may be copied with DOS. They insist on having a write protect tab on the diskette in the default drive, and will stop after the first exercise when it is absent. We have a product called ZeroDisk that lets you run some (not all) copy protected software from a hard disk. Currently, it handles Lotus 1-2-3 release 1A, Symphony, Framework, dBASE III, Concentric Information Processor, Chart-Master, Sign-Master, smARTWORK, Prokey 3.0, The Harvard Project Manager, R:base 4000, Transend, Bank Street Writer, Sargon III and Think Tank. ZeroDisk is available for $75 US or $95 Canadian. We have another product called Disk Explorer that does the same kind of format analysis as CopyWrite, but displays its results on the screen. It is available for $75 US, or $95 Canadian.
