This looks like a reasonable copy of it:

Not sure which version it is, or how recent (before the end).
I actually purchased mine, and kept it updated to the end, but not sure I ever got the
last version of it,
or if I did, where it might be.
I checked the manual in that zip, seems like a good copy, but YMMV
Dan.
thanks.... forgot about that site...

Really, get a copy of copywrite, it was the best there ever was for PC (as a software
only solution),
they had related utilities like "zerodisk" and other things.
without a hardware solution, your best option is and always will be copywrite.
some of the utilities even had tools to remove the protection from the copies.
once you do that, you can use teledisk to make copies of those, no fuss or muss.
Dan.
Is said software available somewhere?

I got a copy of The Newsroom by Springboard new in the box a few weeks ago. It's for
the IBM PC and came on two 360k 5.25" floppies. The first thing I tried to do was
make copies of the disks. Unfortunately it's protected and so I'm not exactly sure
how to back them up. I tried teledisk but the copy it made doesn't work and Newsroom
keeps insisting that I insert the original disk when I try using it on my PC.
I read that teledisk was supposed to be able to deal with copy protection, but it clearly
doesn't. I don't have a kryoflux. What other options are there for making backups
of protected disks?
