which pattern are you referring to?  my problem is that if the
copyright is visible from info, then it appears twice in the printed
version.  is this `working fine'?  also, i assume i'm misunderstanding
the detailed instructions for texinfo, since, clearly, this step is
pretty important and a lot of attention has been given to documenting
it.  but i'm stuck.  :)
