When I bought Copy II Plus 8.4 for my II+ years ago, I was incorrectly
given the Laser version. The sector editor not only did not work, it
trashed sectors that I was not aiming at. Do not use this on an
Apple II! I contacted Central Point, got the right version, and
everything was fine. Central Point was very responsive and followed
up to make sure things were ok.

I don't know why the Laser and Apple versions are different, but leave
the Laser version out of your //c.
