If you want to know everything about copy protection and how to break them, get
or suscribe to a magazine called the Computist.  It advertises in any copy of
Nibble Magazine.  In one of their back issues, they have a program which allows
you to modify the RWTS of DOS based on a password only you know, and even
bit copiers wouldn't be able to copy your modified diskette.  They also have a
program that comes with the magazine which allows you to modify the prologue,
epilogue, and some other bytes on a diskette so that only an accomplished
hacker could break into your diskette.  I love the magazine because it allows
me to back up all the $50+ programs I have.  I don't have to worry about
accidentally messing up my only copy of an expensive program again.
