Oh well...
Well, the idea is that unless you make true authorship-worthy contributions to a work, the notice dates should not be incremented. Companies who automate the copyright notice on their websites to go to the current year are providing improper notices unless they are actually doing something to their site. So, yeah, if whatever you change is actually worthy of the title authorship, then the a few extra seconds to bump the date shouldn't kill ya. -Sean -- Sean Kellogg e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
