No but I have Beneath Apple ProDOS and the Copy II Plus 8.x manual, both
of which I learned how to copy every single piece of software I had
(one way or another).

Let me know if you would like them typed up.  They don't get too terribly
into depth with figures, but they give a reader a great understanding
of what they are likely to be dealing with.

I found the best way to learn was to take the PARM entries and find
programs that a pubilsher had put out in the same time frame.  From that
I could make a guess what a program was using, aside from analyzing in
the nibble editor, loading the first sector and listening to the drive
sweep by ear.
