I agree with most of what you recommended, only I consider
the "normaized" version of a game/app much preferable to
the copy-protected version with its "hacked" disk format.
The operation of the program is absolutely indistinguishable,
and it is fully copyable and amenable to all utilities for
examining its structure.
