It's a program that will let you make images of (some) copy-protected
disks.  Here's a link to the Asimov mirror:

http://www.apple2.org.za/mirrors/ftp.apple.asimov.net/images/utility/disk_utils/saltines_super_transcopy/

There's also a readme that explains how to use it.  Basically the
process is bit-copy > .DSK > .NIB, and the actual .NIB creation takes
place within SST on an emulator (AppleWin specifically; I know of at
least one person that had trouble creating workable .NIB images using
this process under Virtual ][).

Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there's a
modified version of ADT that's bundled with Virtual ][ and is able to
directly do a nibble transfer.
