Subj: 	where is the default copyright msg?; suggestion on RCS id's

Is the @DEC_COPYRIGHT@ message readable somewhere in ODE-land?

I also have a suggestion to save a tiny bit of space in .o files that
use RCS identifiers:  replace the RCS tag line of :

static char *rcsid = "@(#)$RCSfile$ $Revision$ (DEC) $Date$";

to

static char rcsid[] = "@(#)$RCSfile$ $Revision$ (DEC) $Date$";

The former case allocates a pointer, and initializes the pointer to
point at the ASCII string.  The latter case just makes the symbol be the
base address of the ASCII string.  [C compilers DTRT to properly address
the string if code references rcsid in pointer context.]

John, in  /usr/sde/osf1/copyright/1993 
you'll find the various copyright messages which are known; the basic
one is attached below.

Regarding using  rcsid[] vs. *rcsid I'm not sure of the history of
this; perhaps others on buildhelp will have some opinion...
