Keith,

sadly yes
not just for program enhancements like in the Simultano but for entire programs
i think perhaps the most copied eprom is the Tasc 2.5 King Program

while many have no problem with this..i do

i do not consider a copied eprom as the same as an original for collecting
purposes

as to the legality of it..well  i dont see the difference between copying a
program eprom and distributing it and burning a copy of a Pc Chess Program onto
another CD and distibuting that

however Tasc is no longer in business so perhaps it is legal..i am after all no
attorney

but again.for me..copies eproms are uncollectable

Best
Steve
