There are three reasons why this manual was written. First, to enable the original purchaser of protected software to make archival backups, second, to help reduce the damage which results from the drive "head"  hitting the "stop", and third to allow the use of the SX64 and 1541 compatible drives.

Whether software is on disk or cartridge, it is susceptible to damage. If the original program is "protected" in a manner which prevents the user from making a backup, the user-is-out-of-luck. The ARCHIVER manual shows you how to make archival backups of over 300 programs. The intention of this manual is not to promote or, condone piracy in any form. ARCHIVER is sold exclusively for the education of the original purchaser. It is illegal to sell or distribute copyrighted software. Archiver's purpose is to enable the original purchaser to make an archival backups as permitted by Federal Law.
