[net.micro.atari16] PC/Intercom copy problem

dorrestn@nvpna1.UUCP (Frans Dorrestein ) (09/12/86)

PC/Intercom does an excellent job in emulating a VT102 type terminal.
I received PC/Intercom on a single sided floppy disk. However I want to move
it to a different double sided floppy, where I keep all my utility programs.
Copying the files seems to be successful, but if you double click on the new
file, PC/Intercom insist you insert the original disk. The same holds even
if you only disk-to-disk copy to a new single sided floppy.

The question: How do you get round the copy protection?
              ========================================

(After all, the copy protection is not completely effective, because I can
make a disk-to-disk copy using a tool called SUPRCOPY)

You can copy the .prg and setup files to any disk (even ram), the trick is
that you need the original disk in drive A when it loads - even if you boot
from another disk.

I use PC/Intercom alot, my beef is that there's no way to do any local disk
utility stuff (like getting a directory listing).
