The version that I received from MacConnection asks for planet statistics that
are found at the back of the manual (stuff like diameter, densities, etc.)
I don't mind - it's a small price to pay for an awesome program (shame on all
pirates).  

This copy protection is encountered when a New Planet or Load Planet(?) option
is selected.
