  Look peoples, there have been a lot of complaints as to how this is taking
up lots and lots of space on comp.sys.amiga.  So, why not take it to private
mail?  Just mail me with your suggestions etc. (I put this in a message before,
but _apparently_ no one wanted to wade through the other 170 lines just to
read that part....)  When we come to some sort of final decision, I'll repost
the idea, in that current form.
  By the way, those who didn't read my message missed out on a _theory_ of mine.
Basically, someone said that there would never be a copy protection that would
be unbreakable, providing that the pirate has the proper resources.  My theory
is, all we need is a copy protection system that is beyond the resources of
any one person (or small group of people) to break.  Something like the 
encrypted bus the previous gentleman was speaking about, combined with a few
other things...
that we don't _need_ it to be unbreakable.  All
