Uh, pardon me, but Microsoft doesn't use disk speed games for copy
protect on the WORD/FILE/MULTIPLAN/CHART programs - and if you haven't
figured out how to get around their copy protection, you either haven't
tried or you don't have a copy of Fedit :-)

Copy protection DOES suck, though...

P.S. Don't send me mail asking me "how to do it". I won't answer. Purchase
     a Microsoft program and figure it out yourself (like I did).
