Both you guys are correct. Remember MicroSoft dropped copy protection on ALL their software products in the not too distant past. This includes Microsoft Flight Simulator. You can make backups of recent disks simply by using a sector copy in Copy II Mac. (I suppose you could drag it in the Finder to a hard disk, but I don't trust the finder in copying possibly strange files.) Hope this helps clear up the situation -- -- ARPA : chris@umbc3.UMD.EDU BITNET : chris@umbc "A Top Gun instructor once told me there are only four occupations worthy of a man: actor, rock star, jet fighter pilot, or President of the United States."
