all going bad (not recognizing side 2 of the disk). I've tried copying the

the copies made from the *good* originals exhibit the same behaviour as do
the *bad* originals.

Funny, I picked up a copy of multi scribe for $0.50 at my library's book
sale. I had no problem installing it on my hard drive and don't need the
origional disks to use it. 

I thought that it was a IIGS desktop publishing program (the requiremtns
thingie was covered up by the $0.50 tag) at the time, so I thought it
might be something to legally substute for a pirated copy of AppleWorks GS
while allowing me to include graphics.
