From: John W. Peterson <JW-Peterson@UTAH-20.ARPA> I can see why Think (or Apple) copy protected MacPascal, in a typical educational environment piracy would be rampant otherwise. Unfortuantly, the version of MacPascal we have (1.0) uses the "Can't move this object" copy protection instead of the "Please insert master" kind. This means it's impossible to get the speed benifits of a hard disk or the Fat Mac "Ram" disk. Given the frequency of disk access (particulary on a 128K machine) the speedup of using a faster disk would be enormous. Does anybody know what the final version's copy-protect stratagy is? -------
