It's the same way you make a "legit" copy: run two VCR's, one PLAYing the tape, the other RECORDing onto a blank. Hook up the cables so they talk to one another, and BAM! Copied tapes. The copy tends to lose some quality, and at about the fourth generation (copy of a copy of a copy of a copy) it's unmistakable. -- Allan Pratt ...decvax!ihnp4!isrnix!akp
