+# The ATLAS Simulation/HepMC will be (more or less is) replaced by the LCG HepMC package.
+# Because of a package name clash this package is named External/AtlasHepMC and it points directly to the LCG HepMC package. 
+# Currently the most recent Simulation/HepMC points to this package.
+# Once this replacing has taken place Simulation/HepMC should not be used anymore
