The excellent multi-tasking software package called MultiLink (tm)
(not related to a similar-named package from Davong) claims to not be copy
protected. In fact, they (in version 2.05 for IBM DOS 2.0) have placed
"hidden" data on track 41 and used a complicated scheme of self-modifying code
to prevent finding the read-check.
Experienced programmers can modify their source to permit functional backup
(and use with drives that cannot reach track 41) by NOP'ing the disk reads
and data checks.
Use DEBUG to find and modify the following fragments in MLINK.COM. (These
addresses change if you say "GO" so resist the urge until you change the
code):
existing code: change to:
DS:2A40 MOV CX,2908
2A43 CALL 2B40 NOP, NOP, NOP
2A46 JNB 2A51 JMP 2A51
2A38 MOV CX,2903
2A3B CALL 2B40 NOP, NOP, NOP
2A3E JNB 2A51 JMP 2A51
CMP[230B],77
2A5B JNZ 2A4E NOP, NOP
