Just so I'm perfectly clear:

/*
 *  \file PreviewLoader.C
 *  Read the file COPYING
 *
 * \author Angus Leeming
 *
 * Full author contact details available in file CREDITS
 */

So you still add yourself to the top of the file but only once need to
fill in an entry for CREDITS -- and then keep it updated as your
contact details change.

You only have to remember your name when you have a CREDITS entry ;-)
Less typing too.

Allan. (ARRae)
