I haven't seen Hippo-C on the ST, but if it is like the Mac version, then
I believe only the linker checks the copy protection.  So you will have to
use the original disk every time you link.  But you should be able to use
the compiler from a copy of the original disk.  This is still "yuk!", but
at least it's not as bad a "yuk!".

Also, call Hippo and see if they will sell you an unprotected disk.  They
were doing that for the Mac ( it was $25 for the unprotected disk ).

Can the ST handle single sided disks?  If it can, it would be interesting
to see if a bit copier on the Mac, like Copy II Mac, could duplicate
Atari disks on a Mac.  Copy II can handle Hippo-C on the Mac, so maybe
it would work for the ST?  ( or do they have Copy II ST yet? )
