According to Central Point Software the reason that the 3.5 utility does not
work on the Unidisk 3.5 is because of failings in the design of the Unidisk,
it will not work well enough for the utility to do everything they want it
to do.  It also copies Mac disks by the way.

Someone mentioned having compatability problems with the CPS Universal Drive
Controller, according to the addendum I recieved with my Copy ][+ 8.2, the
programs have this problem because of the protection scheme, and if you copy
them with Copy ][+, that portion of the protection is removed.

Also, if you find a parameter that doesn't work, please let Central Point
know, this is there only way of detecting new protection schemes.  Call them
up and tell them -- chances are that they will send you (or tell you) a new
parameter entry right away.

In my experience Central Point Software has been very good about supporting 
their product.  I bought Copy ][+ at 6.0 and have upgraded from there very
cheeply ($15 for the latest update to the version 8 level).
