For all of you ISOers out there, there is hope, though. ISO 8859-1
(ISO Latin alphabet 1) specifies letter 10/09 (that's 0xa9 or '\251')
is "COPYRIGHT SIGN", so as long as you can persuade them to read it in
Latin 1, "\251 1989 Yourname" _might_ be enough (but I wouldn't be
willing to go to court with just a \251 between me and
Personally, I'd do something like (in C, of course):
static char Copyright[] = "Copyright \251 1989 Myname, All Rights Reserved."
(and make sure to spell it right!)
But I'm no lawyer, hence this is non-expert advice...
