Someone told me that Infosnarf can't do anything with a gold
edition game.  These suggestions in general terms, such as 
"deprotect the disk, and get the file"  don't help me at all
I need specific steps.  All I have is a 5.25" gold edition and
I'm not buying any more versions.  I'm sick of buying the same
game two or three times, just to get the original goodies or something
I can use.  For example, I had five legit copies of Hitchhiker's
Guide at one time.
