KRACKER JAX RAPIDLOK COPIERS
      
      RapidLok protection has offered software publishers a very
      effective means of copy protecting their software. Other copy
      utility companies have released copiers for a title or two, but
      because of multiple protection schemes and the extreme difficulty
      in writing the copiers for those titles, they have been relatively
      ineffective.
      
      After many months of research and testing, we have developed
      copiers for what we believe to be ALL existing versions of
      RapidLok. Unlike our competitors, we have not only developed
      individual copiers for every version of every title we could find,
      but have even provided you with an extremely easy way of examining
      and copying ANY RapidLok protected disk released to date (July
      1987).  We are confident that if you follow our instructions
      carefully, YOU will easily construct a copier to archive your
      particular version of a RapidLok protected disk.
      
      In order to copy a RapidLok protected disk with our system, we
      must first identify it as such. Companies such as Microprose
      Accolade, Avantaqe, Avalon Hill, and Capcom are known users of
      RapidLok. Others do exist and using our system will identify them.
      
      The heart of our system is our RapidLok Scanner. With this
      scanner you can not only tell if the disk in question is in fact
      RapidLok, but also the variation of tracks and which version it is.
      No more guessing and endless backup attempts. You are armed with
      EXACT information, and that information can be plugged into a
      Skeleton Copier to provide fast results.
      
      Let's try one out. From the Utility Disk, LOAD and RUN the
      RapidLok Scanner. When the program is loaded, insert any suspect
      disk into the drive and press RETURN. If it is a RapidLok'ed(tm)
      disk, you will see the red and green indicators fill the track
      line. Last, the version number will appear. The RapidLok disk is
      made up of two completely different formats. Those tracks shown as
      red donuts are tracks that must be copied with a RapidLok copier
      and those shown as green circles must be copied with our Nibbler.
      The version number shown determines the correct RapidLok copier to
      use.
      
      After writing down all RapidLok tracks, all regular tracks and the
      version number, you are ready to create your own copier. Follow
      these easy steps.
      
      1) Format a work disk. File copy from the Utility disk to your work
         disk the following files: RLV0, RLV1, RLV2, RLV3, RLV4, RLV5,
         RLV6, NIBBLER, and COPIER TEMPLATE.
