Actually, I just realized this might be a problem. Files often have copyright notices in them. You can't have a patch which entirely removes those files. Also, the program may print out a copyright notice (as in GPL 3c). You are not allowed to add your own name to that list. Regards, Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
