$COPYRIGHT compiler directive

The $COPYRIGHT directive inserts legal copyright data into the object code.

Format

$COPYRIGHT "text"

where

The $COPYRIGHT directive allows a developer to embed a legal copyright notice in the compiled object code. This notice can be printed using the FIND.PROGRAM command.

 
If more than one $COPYRIGHT directive appears in a program, the last one determines the text to be inserted.

$COPYRIGHT and $* may appear in the same program. In this case, the copyright effectively forms the last line of the comment data.

The copyright text can also be supplied via the $BASIC.OPTIONS record.

Example

$COPYRIGHT "Copyright Acme Software, 2011"
