(I didn't want to post this as OT in CF-Talk, maybe it belongs there though)

So my boss comes to me the other day with a letter from an attorney
detailing what needs to be provided to apply for a copyright on an
application that was built.  It includes the following line:

The xxxxxxxxxx computer program...
Provide the first 25 and last 25 pages of source code reproduced in a
form visually perceptible without the aid of a machine or device,
either on paper or in microform, together with the page or equivalent
unit containing the copyright notice, if any.

First and last 25 pages... HUH?  Since this is a web based
application, each of the distinct CFM pages has it's own beginning and
end.  How do we identify what is considered the beginning and the end
of the application.  As rendered, that would be Application.cfc/cfm to
OnRequestEnd.cfm for every distinct page load with any includes in the
middle.  My thought was to write a quick CF page (since I have CF8)
that does a CFDirectory, orders alphabetically and then sends each
page to the printer... then simply seperate out the first 25 and last
25 and provide those.  However, that does not make a truly accurate
representation of the source code.

What exactly are they (the copyright office) looking for?

Thanks!
Hatton
