The maintainers' guide says not to use a range at all: Do not abbreviate the year list using a range; for instance, do not write `1996--1998'; instead, write `1996, 1997, 1998'. Do write each relevant year as a four-digit number. In the normal course of maintenance, you may come across copyright notices which omit the century, as in `1996, 97, 98'--change these to include the century. However, there is no need to systematically change the notice in every old file. -- Ben Pfaff email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://benpfaff.org
