Dick -

As a general rule, the best place I have found to get game cracks
is on an ftp site named   ftp.uwp.edu   There is a directory there
that is full of cracks, but I don't know if kq3 is one of them.
The directory is   /pub/msdos/games/romulus/cracks    You might also
look in this directory for a program caller "neverlock".  It removes
copy protection from several different games.  It has a section
called "classics" or something like that that unprotects hundreds
of older games.  I don't know what the file name for this program
would be, but it's probably something like "nev..., nvl...., nlock..."
or something along those lines.  kq3 is old enough to be a good
candidate for their classic section.

Key disk copy protection is quite old.  I remember a program from
years ago named "nokey" that was a TSR that would defeat this type
of protection.  You loaded nokey before playing the game.  I haven't
seen it for years and wouldn't know where to tell you to find it.
I have no idea if it would even work under your OS/2 situation.

Good Luck,
