That is unfortunate, since no one here really does that anymore - even the
old die-hard, Lotus, bit-the-bullet and stopped.  Hell, they even gave away
a program to remove it from 1-2-3 V2.01 (long after I had already done that).

I would suggest that she try and convince them that it is now difficult to
find a company here to copy protect the program and if she did, I suspect the
cost would make the selling price of the program too expensive.

Besides, every copy protected program has been "busted" one way or another,
making it a complete waste of time.  But I suspose that you already knew that.
