cracking Carmen Sandiego?

I have another request for help transferring a couple of Apple II
games over to a PC as disk image files for AppleWin.

This time it's a couple of Carmen Sandiego games, "Where In Europe Is
Carmen Sandiego?" and "Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?" I tried
transferring my originals as both .dsk and .nib images, but the copy
protection kicks in either way.

I checked TEXTFILES and The Computist, although I might very easily have
missed something since it's hard to search either place exhaustively.

Can anyone help me to get working emulator versions of these?

Thanks so much in advance.

Check Computist again.

There is an index of all Computist softkeys online somewhere.

That's for "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" I'm looking
for "Where In Europe...?" and "Where In Time...?"

To the poster who said there was an index for Computist Softkeys online,
where might that be? I checked http://computist.textfiles.com/issues.txt,
but that summary only lists "Where In the World...?" for Carmen Sandiego
games and does not seem to archive issues new enough to contain info
on "Europe" and "Time" anyhow.

Any other ideas?

Thanks humongously in advance, if so.

I believe issues 56 & 57 have information on copying or cracking "Where in
Europe Is Carmen Sandiego?" I got this from an old list a friend made and
since I no longer have my Computists I can't check it. Unfortunately,
Computist Textfiles doesn't have those issues either. They do have issue
52 which has a SoftKey for "Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego?". I doubt
if it would use the same protection but it might help you if you decide to
unprotect them yourself.
