You have another good thing to store that kind of program by this way. You can use the disk optimizer like DiskExpress on your "main" HD. Usually such copy-protection method rejects the optimization.

I agree Mr. Richard Stallman on this point. -- ============================================== Kiyoyuki CHINZEI (chin@bion.kth.se) Computational Vision & Active Perception lab.
