There have been a few questions regarding NIB 1.0.  I will throw
in my $0.02 worth.

This is a SHAREWARE program that is going to go commercial some
time this summer.  Currently the author requests $16 to register it, and
then you will get version 2 for free as well as the first upgrade
to version 2.  The commercially distributed price will be about
$39 (this is in the readme file with the program).

NIB 1.0 - Nibble is a backup program ala Marauder in that it 
will do a normal copy, a NIBBLE copy and also comes with parameter
settings (list) for various software titles.  The program
is relatively small and is very user friendly.  It works
like a champ.  Using the paramter mode I was able to back up my
Dungeon Master original (and I hated playing with the original).
Also using the parameter mode, I was able to back up my disk 1
of Falcon.  SO what you ask, well not only will it back up the program
(Falcon disk 1 is example here), but it will also REMOVE the copy protection
if it can.  On my Falcon disk, after backing it up, I no longer have to
enter the word-from-the-manual-now-where-in-the-hell-did-I-put-it
password protection.  THe paramter list is quite extensive, and will be updated 
in the next version.  IT contains lots of newer titles as well as
some old favorites.

I highly reccomend it to anyone that does not like running their programs
off the originals and have not found a way to copy them yet.  

It will also run from a hard drive with no problems.
