[comp.sys.amiga] How do I copyright a program?

davids@ucscb.UCSC.EDU (Dave Schreiber) (01/21/90)

Hi.  I've written an Amiga program which may become a commercial product
in the near future.  Hence I need to know how to copyright a program
"officially" i.e. register the copyright with the U.S. government.  I
know I just need to get and fill out the necessary paperwork from the
appropriate government agency, but I don't know where to write.  Can
anyone tell me to whom I should write (email is fine)?  Thanks.
