     Unless there is something unusual about the Word Perfect diskettes, you
would add a notch on the left side of each diskette to allow copying to the
back side. There should be no need to add another index hole near the middle.

     If the diskettes are not copy protected, you can use a fast copier like
Disk Muncher (or a slower copier like the Copy-- DISK option in Copy II Plus)
to copy each disk side.

     Once all sides are copied, it may be a good idea to put write protect tabs
over all notches which are not present on the originals.
