I am trying to track down Discovery Software, the company that makes Marauder II. My manual gives addresses and phone numbers but phone numbers have been disconnected and there is no listing for the Wyndmoor, PA address. If they no longer exist, who is writing software to break copy protection? As a matter of principal, I refuse to by copy protected software because it's a pain to backup and run. I just bought a piece of software that the dealer guaranteed was NOT protected only to find out that the dealer was in error when I got it home. Any help will be appreciated. -- paul hager hagerp@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu

I think they are still in business though. As for archiving your purchased programs either Project D or RawCopy should suffice. There was/is also a PD nibble copier out that was supposedly to go commercial, but I haven't heard anything about that one in awhile. I think it was NIB. It was the only program I found to back-up Dungeon Master. Todd Olson olson@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu

I think they are still in business though. Yes, Discovery (@#$%&^) Software is still around. They moved to Annapolis, Maryland about 2-3 years ago. hagerp, if you're interested just call 1 (301) 555-1212 and say, "In Annapolis, I'd like the number for Discovery Software, please." Sorry, I don't have their new number handy nor is it in my phone book because I'm not that close to Annapolis. Yes, ol' DS dropped out of the copy protection breakin, made their own ``unbreakable'' CP, and used it on their own game software. DS figured they'd make more money selling writing games than preaching the "Just say No to Piracy" sermon and still producing psychodelic copy programs. -Rusty- -- Rusty Haddock o {uunet,att,rutgers}!mimsy.umd.edu!fe2o3!rusty Laurel, Maryland o "IBM sucks silicon!" -- PC Banana Jr, "Bloom County"
