Can anyone tell me what copy programs are available for making backups
of copy-protected 3.5" disks?  I've seen where there are some planned to
be released, but I was wondering if there were any available now.  Is
there anything out there that's public domain or shareware?  How about
editors (block,sector) for 3.5" disks?  What do I need/what is available
to perform the deprotecting schemes that have recently been posted to
info-apple and apple2-l?  Thanks for any help or info.

  (BTW:  I'm not into pirating software, it's just that after spending
$50+ for a program, I'd like to have a backup copy or two around just in
case.  I also don't feel like sending another $10-20 to the company to
get a backup after having shelled out so much to purchase it in the
first place.)
