This isn't copy protection, this is a joke. It has been easy to duplicate a CD-ROM for a few years, but today more than ever the hardware to do so is readily available. Software developers use CD-ROM as a distribution mechanism for convenience, not for good copy protection! The fellow with the difficulty is in touch with the author of Hiarcs here, so I am sure everything will work out fine. Receiving a high level of support from a manufacturer and/or vendor is IMHO more important than the particular copy-protection scheme the software is issued with. Dave Gomboc
