[Coco] Question about disk images & copy protection.

[Bob Devries]

HUH? My copy of Deft Pascal has no copy protection. Was that on a later 
version perhaps?

Subject: [Coco] Question about disk images & copy protection.


I was just reading an email from somebody about disk images and the effort 
they went through to make backups etc.

That got me curious...

How do I deal with copy protected disks?  I know I have some.  I've got 
post-it notes on the floppy jacket about using Spit-N-Image to make backups 
of it.

And I remember several games that had copy protection.  And Deft Pascal 
(although that's easily bypassed.)

So, do disk image programs deal with that?  I know with some other 
emulators, people have developed special disk image formats that store the 
whole track info and all of it's oddities.  That way it can be read properly 
by the emulator.
