Software laws now allow you to make any copies necessary to run the program, so if you copied AmigaTex onto your amiga from NFS, there's no more of a problem then copying it from a disk onto memory. The problem would occur if two different amiga's were using the same AmigaTex at the same time. -- : Michael Gersten seismo!scgvaxd!stb!michael : Copy protection? Just say Pirate!
