I don't have any problem getting this copyright recorded by various public means - I have already recorded it at the US Library of Congress - Washington.

I am more interested in establishing the scope of this time stamp facility in the editor that comes with my older version of Ada compiler - Gnat 311.p.  This to my mind is a very useful attribute that is indelible proof of the origin of the source code.

There is no security role being claimed here either.

I just thought readers might have something to add to what I said earlier about it being a useful attribute of my editor.  Is it widely known and common to many other editors is what I would like to know.
