As I use Teledisk for commerce, I don't have any
problems with
the $150 fee. I agree, it is a shame that the shareware version
can no longer be registered for a small fee, especially because
large quantities of freely distributable software is out there
in Teledisk-image format (for example, all the POS-related
RX50's for DEC Pro's are archived at Uppsula in teledisk format.)
True, Tim, but unless there have been some changes in CopyQM since I got
my copy, it is incapable of handling some of the more esoteric formats
used in many CP/M machines. It does an excellent job on formats similar
to DOS, however.

Anybody know of any reasonable alternatives, for
those of us that
are hampered by rules against theft?
Sydex does have a product which fills many of the same needs
that Teledisk does, and this is CopyQM. It supports 3.5", 5.25",
and 8" floppies and even has some features that Teledisk didn't
have. I don't have as much experience with it as I do with Teledisk,
but CopyQM does have the advantage that single-user licenses
are available for only US$25. Tim Shoppa Email:
