    It's very nice.

    (12/30/2019)

    Cut & Paste (1984)
    IBM Multiplan Electronic Worksheet 1.00 (1982)
    Lotus 1-2-3 Release 2.2 (1988)
    Lotus 1-2-3 Release 3 (1989)
    Lotus Symphony 2.00 (1988)

    These Lotus products have copy protected sector on Track 39 (5.25") or Track 79 (3.5") with factory default.
    But copy protection sector is removed on original disk once user install the program.

  • Disk Optimizer 1.0, 1.2 <- Great name. From what company?

    Most probably it's from SoftLogic Solutions Inc.
