SPSS/PC v2.0 key disk or image copy of key disk Buy? Borrow?

[Art Kendall-2]

I really need an SPSS/PC  v2.0 key disk or exact image copy of  one.
This is the version for PC from 1988.  We have  the program up and
running to the point where it will start up and ask for the key disk.
The copy of the key disk I have does not work.

I contacted SPSS and they do not have a copy to sell or lend me.  They
also said they would have no problem with my obtaining a copy elsewhere.

My friend who is into hardware systems thinks that there is a good
chance that an exact image (aka container) file of the key disk would
work.  DOS copy does not make an exact image copy,  a program called
RAWRITE will.
If you have a machine with a 5.25 drive would you please send me an
exact image copy of it? If  your computer  uses Windows, please use
something like the free software at the link below to create an exact
image of the key disk.
then please zip the .fic file and email it to me.

If your computer does not use windows, please let me know what OS it
uses, and I'll find a version of *rawrite* for your operating system and
send it to you.

If you have difficulties getting an image copy of the key disk, would
you be willing to send the disk itself to me?

I would certainly reimburse you for shipping.   I would also be willing
to reimburse you for your time and send a security deposit pending my
return of your disk if you need that.

<http://www.fdos.org/ripcord/rawrite/flpimg141.zip> (Freeware v1.4.1,)

 "This program allows you to make an exact image of a floppy disk and
save it to a file, and of course restore the image to disk when ever
required. It is especially useful for making backups of system and/or
boot disks. It will handle all the standard format floppys (IE: 360Kb
5.25", 720Mb 3.5", 1.2Mb 5.25" and 1.44Mb 3.5"). You also have the
option of including a description of the disk with the image."

Finally, does anyone know of way to make SPSS/PC 2.0 work without the
key disk?

Thanks.

In the back of a drawer, I discovered a copy of SPSS ver. 7.5 (for PC).
Occasionally folks show up here on the list in desperate need of an old
version. If you are one such, and for some reason you need this particular
version, contact me off-list and we'll see what we can work out. The set
includes 12 original installation disks (3.5" disks), plus the Advanced
Statistics, Professional Statistics, and Tables disks (3.5").

I am assuming that SPSS is no longer concerned about controlling ancient
versions such as this, but if it is still an issue, please advise. I don't
want to do anything inappropriate.
