Thanks to all who replied to my software copyright question.

I received such a variety of somewhat conflicting responses that an
intellectual property attorney's advice seems really prudent.  App architecture
has changed dramatically from the old huge, monolithic Cobol model, so this
suggests that the copyright procedures have changed (some say they have, and
others say they haven't :-)

Some clever (to me, at least :-) tips suggested how to insert copyright strings
into nibs (use an NXStringTable), sound files (sndconvert -i copyright_string),
and even tiffs (Tag 33432 in Tiff 6.0 format, but I'm not sure what utility to
use).
