Here you go (from Computist #60, p. 8):

Leisure Suit Larry (Sierra On-Line)
===================================
(Softkey by George Sabeh)

1. Copy all five sides with COPYA or other disk copier.

2. Search for the sequence 20 00 FF (JSR $FF00).  I found this on
   track $02, sector $08, starting at byte $0D.  You need to search
   the boot side only.  Change this sequence to EA EA EA (NOP, NOP,
   NOP).  This should give a COPYA unprotected copy of the game.
