How about:

       Copyright (C) 1992 Qiang Alex Zhao

       Original code

       Copyright (C) 1988      Dr. X Y Z                              
       Permission is granted to modify and re-distribute this code in 
       any manner as long as this notice is preserved. All standard   
       disclaimers apply.                                             

Or perhaps with "Original code" replace by "some code".

But perhaps you could reconsider; as it stands, you could put a virus in
the code, and the original author could get the credit(?).  My guess is
that copyright notice is probably as valid as the GPV(L), so you would
probably be better off working from scratch.
