I have Wordpro 3, 4+, and 5+.  They all use the same ROM. Part of the 
program is in the ROM, mainly all the screen titles, and messages.

I have two versions of Visicalc. They use the same ROM, which is for copy 
protection only.  I have removed the copy protection from version 1.70A. 
It is used in the loader routine only.  Be careful when altering the 
loader. If it detects tampering, it will erase Visicalc from the disk 
instead of loading it.
