Carlos,

I would like to add, it is important to me that all who contribute to IBO
get proper recognition. That is why in each unit file I have provided a
section where they can type in their name, a date, their contact information
and a brief description describing what they did. I don't like this kind of
information to be scattered inside of the sources and so when changes are
submitted to me I will sometimes, but not always, put in comments in the
header if the contributor neglected to do so. Since I archive all of my
source versions I can go to the changes they made based on their date and
then do a file comparison with Beyond Compare and see exactly what changes
were made by them based on their description. That way the source can stay
clean and their changes can yet be easily pinpointed if it is necessary to
see them.

Regards,
Jason Wharton
