Copy Protection Message#

Several copies of a message from the person who made the copy protection can be seen throughout the disk. The text is stored in PETSCII format, which uses code points with bit 7 set (80) to indicate uppercase letters. Each sector containing this text seems to have proper "next sector" links in the first two bytes. Each newline indicates one space unless noted otherwise on the previous line.

Greetings! <2 spaces>

For you to be looking here, you are probably using a Track and Sector editor. <2 spaces>

If you are, you are a Dabbler or a Hacker, the last one the most likely.

For Hackers information -- Nothing!, except that the protection systems
are designed with you in mind. <2 spaces>

Get out the gear AND a box of aspirin.... <2 spaces>

For the Dabblers and the general lookers on, feel free to examine the
disk at your leisure. <2 spaces>

Anyhow, this disk was protected by SHUTTLE/HPS. <2 spaces>

We cheerfully acknowledge that no program is COPYPROOF, but at least we
have tried harder than most. <2 spaces>

If you market software, remember: We can protect your program too!

Against ISEPIC, FREEZEFRAME MK1 & 2, CAPTURE, FAST HACK'EM, you name it.
