Uh retard Hyman.

"324 Deposit for registration: identifying material.

Where a computer program is fixed or published
only in the form of machine-readable copies, the
deposit for registration purposes shall consist
of one copy of identifying portions of the pro-
gram, reproduced in a form visually perceptible
without the aid of a machine or device, either
on paper or in microform. For these purposes,
"identifying portions" shall mean either the
first and last 25 pages or equivalent units of
the program if reproduced on paper, or at least
the first and last 25 pages or equivalent units
of the program if reproduced in microform, to-
gether with the page or equivalent unit contain-
ing the copyright notice, if any. See 37
C.F.R. 202.20(c)(2)(vii). If the computer pro-
gram is less than 50 pages in length, the entire
program should be deposited. For registration
of a derivative computer program, identifying
portions of the new material should be included
in the deposit.
 
NOTE: Works fixed or published in both
machine-readable and visually-perceptible form
are not considered machine-readable works for
purposes of deposit for registration. The
appropriate deposit requirements for the
visually-perceptible form apply. See section
806.12 of Chapter 800: DEPOSIT FOR REGISTRA-
TION."
