If you're using a Borland language, you must state a copyright notice
or you must use Borland's copyright on the disks.

In America isn't it necessary to send them the first 25 and last 25 pages
of Source?  Or has that since been abolished.  I don't have to do that in
Canada, although our fee is almost double the American fee.

Also, since I'm already of topic, there was another post stating that you must
register a trademark.  Not true, which is why you have (in superscript or
whatever the tiny raised text is called) TM for Trademark, and R for Registered
Trademark.  I can't remember if the R is in a circle or not.  Probably is.

                             TM
We Create Worlds...Yea right!

There I've just created a trademark, or maybe not since I've ripped off
a registered trademark.
