It is not copy protection with CoCoMaxIII as they tell you to make a backup of
the original disk and never use the original.
I've looked at the directory on the CM3 3.5 disk and the two files that have
funny values for byte $0E are system files. In fact, I've changed those values
to $00 and it did not alter the way the program behaves.
One aside. CoCoMaxIII will not work with RGBDOS nor HDBDOS. You need a pure
Tandy DOS.
