-Here is the proposed copyright message to be added to all source files
-at their top.  There is one line that represents the main copyright holder
-and that would be Jean-Pierre Charras for existing modules.  
 
-But in the future, the respective author of any newly coded module would be
-listed as the main copyright holder. Additional workers who might earn a
-partial copyright holder status of the respective module are simply left in the
-change_log.txt file, see the 2nd Copyright line below.
-
-Jean-Pierre, let me know if this is satisfactory and I will run a script I have to 
-pre-pend it to all the sources.   
-
-Thanks, Dick Hollenbeck dick@softplc.com.
