To copyright _anything_, include the following string in the text: Copyright All rights reserved. this establishes a copytight in the U.S. and all countries which have signed the International Copyright treaties, as well as the South American copyright treaties. Next, skip one line, and outline any permissions or restrictions that you want to impose on distribution in clear English || German || French || the language of your choice. That's it. As to working for a University, you'd have to check with the lawyers that work there about contractual restrictions -- there is no general body of law on that, as there is in copyright matters. -- Sam'l Bassett, Self-Employed Writer -- My words & ideas are my own! 34 Oakland Ave., San Anselmo CA 94960; (415) 454-7282 UUCP: {...known world...}!hplabs OR ptsfa OR lll-crg!well!samlb; Compuserve: 71735,1776; WU Easylink ESL 6284-3034; MCI SBassett
