[EvtGen] Fwd: Hw7 vs. Hw++2.7.1

[John Back]

Hi Marco,

The reason is that the repository and its related downloads have moved 
to HepForge. The evtgen.warwick.ac.uk url is redirecting it to the 
Hepforge site but is adding html information and is apparently leaving 
out the source code. Please update your scripts to use the new location:

http://www.hepforge.org/archive/evtgen/EvtGen-01.06.00.tar.gz

Other releases are available here:

https://www.hepforge.org/downloads/evtgen

Regards,
	John.
