In each case, I wrote a nice letter requesting free replacement of the disk and mailed it and the original disk to the publisher. In each case I received a free replacement (ok, less $.66 one-way postage). Sure, that's not as good as having the disk unprotected in the first place. But it's a better solution than just throwing away an otherwise nice program. It also makes me feel a little better knowing I made them eat the cost of a disk (plus shipping and handling). I'm not arguing in favor of copy protection, just offering some free advice on dealing with it if you so choose. -- Charles Poirier (decvax,ucbvax,mcnc,attmail)!vax135!cjp "Docking complete...
