I tried the same thing, also with no success.  In fact, I specifically
bought MarauderII for the SOLE REASON of getting MM to run in RAM:
The Marauder 'decoder' program did absolutely nothing except replicate
a 175Kbyte file that did not even have any errors on it!  There is
a small 93 byte file  "sigfile" that is unreadable -- decoder didn't
even touch it.  By the way, I got MM in June 87, and Marauder in
Sepp 87, with the latest "Brain file" (Num. 8).
So there is no excuse for Discovery Software.

I was really amused to read a note posted the other day where someone
said that "Arkanoids (sp?)", a new game marketed by Discovery Software,
is massively copy protected and can't be broken by Marauder II!
Discovery specifically advertises that Marauder will back up "anything"
and that this copy breaking is to be used only for the sole and legal
purpose of making backups.  But you can't even backup their own program!
What this implies is that Discovery Software is really marketing
Marauder II as a pirate's tool.  I think the people at Discovery
Software are a bunch of dispicable hypocrites.

I have "Discovered" a new place for Discovery Software.  It is called
the toilet.
