COPYIIPC version 6.0 claims to defeat this type of copy protection.
According to the reference manual provided with COPYIIPC, their UNGUARD program
will create a modified copy of your SUPERLOKed software that runs without the
copy protection.

Whether it works for you, on your version of SUPERLOK, is not guaranteed.
Certainly, COPYIIPC v6 is inexpensive enough to try.

Disclaimer-- All my comments are based on the assumption that you are a
legitimate, honest owner of the software you want to un-protect.
