      7) Points of Interest:
      
      Track 18 on ALL RapidLok disks is formatted in standard
      Commodore DOS (i.e.- 18 sectors), but it also contains the RapidLok 
      "extra-sector" ($55 7B 7B 7B 7B...etc). The RapidLok auto-boot will 
      not load RapidLok DOS into drive memory UNLESS this extra sector is 
      found. It uses the 2nd byte (78) as a decoder for the DOS stored on 
      sector 18, 15, 12, 9, 6 and 3.
      
      On all RapidLok disks released in the past 2 years, tracks 19
      through 35 have ALWAYS been formatted in RapidLok style. Tracks
      1-17 usually vary, depending upon the program. Huge programs will
      RapidLok format all these tracks, others will use combinations of
      standard format with RapidLok format. Often if a game has a
      highscore list that is saved to disk, the RapidLok format will
      leave track 1 open as standard Commodore DOS so the high-score list
      can be written to disk using a simple B-W or U2 command. Writing
      out in RapidLok format is almost impossible! (it would take up too
      much disk drive memory!)

      8) In Conclusion:
      
      As we have seen, the RapidLok format is not standard in any way to
      the format that Commodore DOS is using for reading. Because of this, 
      the only way to break the protection of titles that have the
      RapidLok format is to break the separate files from the computer
      memory and tie them together. This, unfortunately is beyond the
      scope of this manual.
      
      We can however, give you a method of reproducing most RapidLok
      protected disks. This system (developed by the Kracker Jax team) is 
      the most effective RapidLok copier on the market. In the next 
      section, we will document our RapidLok copier in detail. With our 
      scanner, you will be able to distinguish the RapidLok tracks from
      the standard tracks and even know the RapidLok copier version.
      Armed with this information, you will build your own copier driver.

      Enjoy!
