Take the copy protection out, i did it years ago it was easy and it allowed
my to use it on my dsdd percoms. I will try to figure out what i changed,
it was only a few bytes. Does anyone have a file compare program for the
atari?

Where can i get UTIL.COM? I have a friend with a 800XL who wants to read
the comp.sys.atari news, i have been collecting it to a file, and then
he downloads it 150K at a time. If i could write a disk from my machine
and give it to him that would be great. Could someone mail the program to
me?
