I consider my copy to be copy protected because it can't be copied with
the Finder (It finds a defective loader2 file on the duplicate).  The
copy made with CopyIIPC runs ok as I described before even if it isn't
the boot disk. (I always thought if you launched an application from a
disk other than the start-up disk, and that new disk had a 'blessed'
folder, the new disk became the start-up or system disk anyway).  I did
copy the files to the hard disk once with the Finder but got a dialog
box saying FltSim won't run off a hard disk...too bad.
