Hello:
I think the issue here is rather whether an authorization disk can be
duplicated...It absolutely cannot. However, you're absolutely right in
stating that the process of copying cannot damage the source diskette,
provided, that is, that the user first write-protects the source
diskette. That caveat always applies when you're copying in order to
prevent mistakenly copying something onto the source instead of the
target. Again, however, HJ has elegantly protected its authorization
diskettes from any sort of duplication process! END OF THE MATTER!
