 Last time I tried using DiskCopy on a copy-protected diskette (oh,  back 
 around  Dos  3.1  or  so)  it  choked  faster  than a bimbo at a leper's 
 convention.  
 As long as software is using  Dos/Int  21h  routines,  it  won't  handle 
 renumbered  or  crazy  sector numbers put in with Bios/Int 13h routines, 
 which was what the majority of Copy-protection schemes used.
