Hmmmmm.  Good ole' DMCS is no longer copy protected.  Is that not 
"professional" or part of the "nearly"?

It does seem true that protected/non-protected runs in clumps -- if one
program of type X is protected, most others will be, too.  In general, I
don't buy them -- I paid for the $@#%! hard disk, and I intend to USE it.
