The Union Demo REALLY IS a nice graphics and sound "experience."
But I doubt that the programmers had any intention of copy protecting it.
Why would they have put a built-in copier!?!?!  It seems that they just
wanted to get as-much-as-they-could on the demo disk, and a side effect was
that it wasn't TOS file compatible...

By the way, on my STe, most of the software overscan stuff in the demo make
those portions of the screen go haywire... (You should see what the full-
screen part of it looks like on my machine!!!)

This isn't a "nothing works on the STe" message either!
