Important information regarding HSMathLibs and stormamiga.lib
As a result of the litigations concerning the name "CyberdyneSystems" I was
forbidden to use this name in connection with "HSMathLibs" and "stormamiga.lib".
Since this also concerns the domain name, the "HSMathLibs" and "stormamiga.lib"
soon will not be found at "WWW.CyberdyneSystems.de", any more. I will inform
about the future place to find those pages as soon as this was fixed. Due to
the changes the respective pages may be down for a short time. I ask you for
your understanding.
