     This program is used to encode a .COM program to make the
data or programming techniques indecipherable.  It  will  make
hacking  or  modification  of  the program that much more dif-
ficult. This is NOT a sure-fire, guaranteed  safeguard  system
but  is  merely  to keep the average programmer from tinkering
with  your  code.  It  is  not  foolproof and I'm sure that an
expert programmer can break the system easily.

Note: Only use COP.com on copies of  your  programs,  not  the
      originals! 

      To encode a .COM program, type in the following: 

           COP [d:]filename code-phrase <ENTER>
                 
COP  will read the program and by using the code-phrase, write
a modified version back to the disk. The modified  version  is
encoded  and  makes disassembling of the code quite difficult.
Note that COP writes over the original  version  of  the  file
that  is  being processed. The COP modified program will still
run from the DOS prompt and performs just as the original.
