Do you have a recollection of which programs did this for the CoCo?

Sorry, Tim.  I don’t know that any Coco software did.  I guess I wasn’t too clear on that point.  That was mainly used on some IBM PC software, but quickly went out of favor.  I’m guessing it was the right to make backup copies for your own use.  The laser hole technique prevented that.
