Fortunately, Marauder II removes both forms of protection for you.
(This is of course assuming that you bought both your copy of Marauder II and 
Balance of Power.  If you got your
copies another way, please disregard this information, I don't want to 
encourage piracy or anything :-)
Having read more than I really care to about the evils of copy protection,
I'm not going to add my opinion to the list.
Being about 400 articles behind in this NewsGroup, I apologize in advance
if similar information has already been posted.
Looks like I'm going to be here all night reading!
