     Has anyone out there been successful in deprotecting Falcon1.1 for the 
Amiga? I would like to remove the manual copy protection from the original 
program. I'm a legitimate owner of both Falcon and Operation: 
Counterstrike but, unfortunately, I have lost my decoder wheel and I'm thus 
unable to play either of the games (Ain't copy protection wonderful? :-( ).
I have contacted Spectrum Holobyte already for a replacement wheel, but I
was wondering if it would be possible to deprotect the game so that I might
use it while the replacement decoder arrives. I tried using RawCopy v1.3g,
but it didn't work; the game would load but the plane would "self-destruct"
a few seconds after starting a takeoff. 

     Any ideas?
