[Coco] Penpal disk...

[Arthur Flexser]

I recall having other software from Four Star Software that was copy
protected, so if Penpal is theirs, that's probably the explanation.

One CoCo program for copying protected disks that I remember was
called Spit 'N Image.

Seems to me I remember some discussion on this list 3-4 years ago
about a newer cloning program someone had developed.
