The inside cover of the Copy II Mac documentation says:

	The Macintosh System software is a copyrighted program of
	Apple Computer, Inc. licensed to Central Point Software,
	Inc. to distribute for use only in combination with Copy
	II Mac.  Apple Software shall not be copied onto another
	diskette (except for archival purposes) or into memory
	unless as part of the execution of Copy II Mac.  When
	Copy II Mac has completed execution, Apple Software shall
	not be used by any other program.

So when I'm done using Copy II Mac, I have to reset the machine before using
anything else, or else all those nasty DSATs and ROM patches and keyboard
interpreters and packages (and whatever else might be lying around that is
only to be used during execution of Copy II Mac) will still be loaded.  Does
this explain those obnoxious programs that reset the machine when you Quit?
Does Apple require System/Finder licensees to say this?  Is this the most
ridiculous thing you've ever seen?  No, really.
