- The Trojan horse is in Ver 1.2. It had to be removed because everytime
- someone's original disk got currupt (even on an unneeded sector) the
- whole disk would wipe itself. Ver 2.0 does not include this and I have
- copied the system files without problems (altho you need Maverick or
- GeosMakeBoot to remove the copy protection).
