Visual Basic, Copyright Question

AugustWi #1 / 4	Copyright Question I know how to copyright musical or text-type works, but let's say I have a new shareware program I developed in VB. How do I copyright it before I try to actually put it out on the market (as it were)? Please email as well as post the answer. Thanks, David Wier http://www.--*.com/

Put a little ? symbol in a few different places in your app. If you've made the program, you have the rights to it. Of course, somebody else could make one to do exactly the same thing and give it a different name, and that would be legal as long as they don't use your source code to make it (and as long as it isn't recognizable as an UNMISTAKABLE COPY of yours). -- Ben
