The whole issue is not revolving the source file, but the declarations in the ChangeLog which pretends to the users that those changes were made by thou-self. To give credit to the original author by no means degrade your stature, standing, expertise. Instead it portrays your true professional innerself. It is a way of respect to the self. It shows your maturity and understanding of the things. You never know when your code is going to be targetted like this. I understand, once in a while it could be omission for minor updates, but not for major ones. BTW when I read the Changelog entry by Angel, I too felt the same way as is felt by Viktor and Przemek even before these messages appear. What do you think what impression whole Harbour community could have gathered...
