In response to the message traffic about Macintosh Pascal copy protection
and what you can and cannot do because of it:

1. (To kalagher@mitre:) Don't worry about modifying the original disk with any
of the standard tools (e.g. the Finder, the Font Mover). As long as the
MacPascal application and its associated files are on the disk, things
should work OK.

2. You can run MacPascal from an external floppy drive. Also, once you get
around Apple's "may not be copied or moved" protection (a la
[email protected]), and making the auxiliary data files IPAUX and
IPINIT visible, you can move all of them to an external hard disk drive and
run from there (with the speed of summer lightning, comparatively
speaking). YOU MUST HAVE THE FLOPPY IN THE ON-BOARD MACINTOSH DRIVE AT ALL
TIMES for this to work (this is a bug). This means that if you have
programs or data files on floppies that you want to access, you must move
them to your hard disk BEFORE running MacPascal, since once you start
running, you cannot swap the MacPascal disk out of the internal drive
(sorry about that).

3. Comment 2 applies for Lisas under MacWorks as well.
