I used to work for a small publisher (long enough ago so as to be way on
topic, and we'll leave it at that) where one of my jobs was to make
multiple photocopies of a master copy, collate, assemble, and clib them
together. They were review copies, and they were done on a small office
copier.
So, if you come across an older computer book like that, it's not
necessarily a pirated copy.
