|    Musicalc 1983    |

      Hi all,              I received tons of .D64 images of older C64 midi Software.       Right now Im trying out Musicalc written by Waveform in 1983.              I tried booting from the image no go it loads about halfway and just stops       and I thought that Musicalc may be copy protected because some copy protection       checks and if a copy will probably stop, etc.               I checked Fast Hackem and Maverick parameters and they don't even list       anything under Musicalc, nothing. (parms).              Would anyone know anything about Waveform protection or a way to try editing       disk sectors etc?               Again I don't have the original of this its just a .d64 image, and BTW       I use CBM Command to write the disk image back to a real 1541 formatted disk.              I do have the Maverick V5.4 with a good disk editor if anybody knows how to       edit Waveform protection (For my own backups only). :D              Musicalc has a timer that takes around 2 minutes to load with this .d64 image       it only gets as far as 1min 40 seconds and it just stops completely.       I recognize this as being protected because some protection if it detects the       disk is a copy then it will do this and stops like a mule.              Would a disk scan help anybody to determine what is going on?              When it comes though to disk editors I dunno Im willing to try though, of       course I have the original .d64 and can make another floppy of this, or just       use a copy of course if I goof it up, etc.              Terry Raymond              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3)    |
