- Here's an interesting problem. I need to run IBM Writing Assistant
- (A very old program--it's from the first days of the PC) on a machine that
- doesn't have a 5.25" drive. I either need to find out if there was ever a
- version available on 3.5" diskettes (which I doubt) or if there is a way to
- remove the copy protection so that I can transfer the program. (I _do_ have
- a genuine copy, with manual and everything.) Anyone have any ideas? The
- installation program _won't_ let me install it to another floppy--it
- recognizes that it's not a hard drive. Thanks for any help anyone can
- offer.
