This is all news to me. The version of Pirates I have (1032.01 (US)) is doubly protected. There is the lookup scheme you mention plus a master disk scheme. Do you mean that there are versions out there without the master disk CP, or did you both somehow have a master disk but no manuals? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Read My Lips: No Nude Texans!" - George Bush clearing up a misunderstanding
