I don't remember the exact details, but if you distribute your work without a copyright notice, but you didn't mean to put the work in the public domain, you may correct the mistake by registering a copyright before N years pass, where N is something like 3 or 5. You can get more information at your library in any good encyclopedia under "Copyright". -- emordnilapregnolanalpanama Tim Smith USENET: sdcrdcf!ism780c!tim Compuserve: 72257,3706 Delphi or GEnie: mnementh
