[net.micro.mac] Copying 400K Copy Protected Files to 800K Mac+

I can't remember if I have tried this, but Copy II s latest
documentation says that you can copy to 800K disks
by using CopyII Hard Disk (treating the 800K disk as a hard disk).
Of course, only programs that work with CopyII Hard will work.

It is legal to use CopyII HD to copy to 800k disks, but the outputs do not
seem to work.  I have only had Wizardry I work, lots of others fail.

I have used Copy II HD for copying Word, Chart, and Multiplan  to an 800k
disk.  It works fine and I have used it extensively.  I must say though,
when I tried the same thing with Jazz I got a rather strange system error.
After I read the original and started to write to the 800k I got a box with
a > for a cursor.  anything I typed here appeared on the screen.  But 
nothing else would budge.  No command-shift-1, no quit, zip.  Hmmmm.
