We have a comms program here which uses a software protection scheme that creates a directory called SUPERLOK.300. Unfortunately, the installation software won't install on our network (probably trying to write funny sectors or something). We haven't been able to find an alternative piece of software that does the terminal emulation we want. Does anyone know how to defeat this nasty little feature? We only have one connection to the machine we will use it with, so we won't be running more than one copy of the program at any one time. Thanks, Peter S.

COPYIIPC version 6.0 claims to defeat this type of copy protection. According to the reference manual provided with COPYIIPC, their UNGUARD program will create a modified copy of your SUPERLOKed software that runs without the copy protection. Whether it works for you, on your version of SUPERLOK, is not guaranteed. Certainly, COPYIIPC v6 is inexpensive enough to try. Disclaimer-- All my comments are based on the assumption that you are a legitimate, honest owner of the software you want to un-protect.

Try Central Point Software's Copy II PC. I know it removes certain
copy protection, including at least one version of Superlok. Their
number in Beaverton, Oregon is (503) 244-5782.
Good luck!
