The cracked version of the 1985 (two disk) Oregon Trail uses a DOS 3.3 RWTS,
but still not DOS 3.3.  (I'd LIKE to be able to use this with UniDOS rwts or
something else.)

I've cracked a couple of the Elementary disks.  (OREGON is on #6, btw. 
Takes 3 files)  It's just a different RWTS, really.  Using a RWTS swapper I
got them to copy with a more normal DOS 3.3 (STOS 1.7, a hack I put together
from various other hacks on the Internet a couple years ago; I now use a
variation of STOS which uses only 2 boot tracks instead of 3).
