Eric,
What's the deal with this tremendously ugly first few lines? Can you put them

<TECHWR-L -at- VM1 -dot- ucc -dot- okstate -dot- edu>Can anyone help me out? I'm currently
working
on a manual that makes reference
to a public-domain software program (in this case called VOGL). The program
sources include a Copyright page which states the following:
"Copyright (C) 1991, 1992 The University of Melbourne. Department of
Engineering."
Since it is a public-domain program, must I include the above copyright acknow-
ledgment in my documentation, or is no reference necessary?
