It has been renamed cgDemoData to better reflect its
purpose. All the "retired" routines from the Coyote
Library have been moved to a "retired" directory in
the "coyote" distribution. If you download them
to a "coyote" directory, then you need only add the
coyote directory and all its sub-directories to your
path and you have everything Coyote ever produced!

If you add just the coyote directory itself to your
path, then, like me, you find out just how dependent
your programs are on Coyote Library routines, and you
fix them and move on with the Coyote Graphics System.

I will no longer be making development changes to
the "retired" Coyote Library routines. So, if you
want to move forward with me, you will have to
(eventually) make a switch to the new names.

I know this is momentarily painful. I thought about it
for a long time. But I have plans for the next couple of
years, and doing this now just seemed like the best
solution for moving forward. I do apologize for this
disruption.

Cheers,

David

P.S. I spent a pretty painful day on Monday or Tuesday
(I no longer remember the month, let alone the day!)
converting all the Catalyst Library routines to use
Coyote Graphics System routines. So, I am fairly
confident at the moment that if you update your
libraries all the routines you download from these
libraries will not use "retired" routines.
