N.>Hi all,
N.>just a question: is there a way (asm source or any kind of program) to
N.>copy protect a floppy ? Commercial protection software is VERY expensive,
N.>so I was wondering if anybody has a code/program to make a floppy
N.>non "copyable".
N.>I've already tried to write some formatters with funct. 05 int13h but
N.>I got no result, you can still use the simple "diskcopy" to copy it.
N.>Any hint ?
First of all, I don't think even the professional ones prevent you from using
diskcopy... they might make it difficult to copy files individually... But
nothing short of using a completely different format disk at low level, it
would be impossible to prevent someone from running diskcopy on it (unless
diskcopy itself allows for this, in which case there'd probably be a better
one already out that ignores copy-protect codes...  A trick I've seen in a 
ew
programs is to set it up so that they can't effectively run the program if
they don't have the documentation on paper to go with it (e.g. Commander Keen
6, Tunnels & Trolls)
