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)
