I am the President of of Amiga club here in Vancouver (Panorama – Pacific Northwest Amiga Association). We recently amalgamated with the Commodore Computer Club giving us just over 600 members. We average between 150 to 200 members per meeting (2 meetings per month) at which we distribute normally 2 disks of PD software per meeting. We also do not condone piracy of any kind, however we do use Marrauder to copy the disks since it allows us to dump an entire disk into memory and then dump it out to 3 or 4 drives at a time. Without Marrauder, we just would not be able to do the copying during the time of the meeting. By the way, we usually just barely finish copying peoples disks by the end of the meeting, and that is with at least three machines running 3 drives at a time. I suppose the point I am trying to make, is that just because someone is using Marrauder, does not mean that they are pirating. Until something better comes along, now that Marrauder is no more, we will continue to use it. Tom Gowdyk 75026,3436
