Thanks for your replies, but, prompted by trying to merge the various
schemes that came in, I've discovered what is surely the EASIEST technique
that works just fine:
pop your MM disk into a drive. From a CLI do:
protect MarbleMadness!:c/sigfile rwed
delete MarbleMadness!:c/sigfile
Done! Really. Now your MM disk is sanitized, and you can just do:
copy MarbleMadness!: <wherever you want> all
<pop out the disk>
assign MarbleMadness!: <wherever you put it>
and you can now click on the icon and away you go. Thanks all!

ps, I picked up Arkanoids. It is really a VERY nice piece of work.
It is REALLY copy protected: MarauderII can't get ANY handle on what's
going on on the disk (aside fromnoting that EVERY track is "Not a DOS track").
Not surprising since the same folks wrote both. Anyone know what voodoo
Discovery DID to the Ark disk? /b\
pps, on the OTHER hand, Discovery only wants $3 for a backup disk. Not as
convenient as being able to copy one myself, but that's virtually what my
disks cost ME, so it isn't so much of a ripoff. /b\

Anyone know what voodoo >Discovery DID to the Ark disk? /b\ If I were them, I would just have MarauderII look for a certain signature on the disk that would mark it as one of their own disks. If it found it, instead of saying it won't copy it, it should pretend that it can't and maybe have the disk drive grind a bit, witty error messages, etc for a colorful coverup. (I'm not saying this is what it does. I don't even have the program.) --j -- jon wesener ... {seismo | harvard | ihnp4} ! {uwvax | cs.wisc.edu} ! astroatc!jojo hating tomorrow's advertising, today.
