Re: bad copyright years

    OK, I didn't appreciate that.  Now I fail to see why the original question 
was
    `interesting' at all, or why you wished to know when CC mode became part of
    Emacs, as it seems to have a striaghtforward answer.

It has to do with which years it was released in.  For the time it was
distributed in Emacs, we know the answer--it is the same as the rest
of Emacs.
