RE: copy program from rom module in emu71
Since lowercase characters are not supported by the 71B's built-in file management commands (COPY, NAME...AS, PURGE, etc.) HP used them for the names of files in ROMs as a primitive, though effective, form of copy protection.

You could do this:

ROMCOPY the image to a mass storage file
ROMCOPY that file to an IRAM
POKE new uppercase letters for the filename,,,

Then, you can COPY or whatever you want to do with the file, but note that portions of the s/w require the mixed case name, so it may not work as expected until you change them back.
