Does anyone out there (who is reading this message) have access to
Compuserve and also willing to post any available cracks for the 
currently available IIgs programs.  I would appreciate it very much
if this could be done again (the last time someone did this was in
November I recall).

I have purchased quite a few programs for the IIgs which I would like
to make backups of (for personal security) so that I do not mess up the
originals.  This is a very important to me (being able to make personal
backups of programs which I have lawfully purchased) and I'm sure it is
for many other computer owners.  I do not have access to Compuserve and
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who did have access would be
willing to share this information.

Specifically, I am interested in backup information for:

Hardball! 
Instant Music
Bard's Tale GS
Multiscribe GS 3.0
Fantavision GS

I have heard rumors that Copy II Plus 8.0 is not very good at copying
protected IIgs software (3.5 inch micro-diskettes) so I am very leary
of purchasing this supposedly reliable "backup" program.

I give my thanks in advance for any effort to further this request...

thanx

I just recently purchased a copy of copy II plus ver 8.2.  Since then I have 
copies of every GS program that I have purchased with no problems.
Here are some of the ones that I have copied successfully:

Thexder
Paintworks Plus
Space Quest
Instant Music

An interesting feature of the program is that is comes with parameter files
that tell the program what special steps to take when coping certain programs.
The package comes with the parameter files for most of the popular GS software.
