gtoal at tharr.UUCP (Graham Toal) has provided a neat and very useful set
of lazy-evaluation list functions.  Many thanks!

correct me.

A copyright notice must begin with "Copyright" (upper- or lowercase),
or with a "c" in a circle.  "(c)" is not "c" in a circle, and thus
this statement might not be considered a valid copyright notice.

Any text is either "public domain" or "copyright", but cannot be both.
"Public domain" implies "not copyright".

Any reasonable judge would presumably follow what was meant, not what
was written.  In other words, I wouldn't bet 5 cents on it.  8-)
