 - Website structure: we have combined the  "Image and code data base"
 branch of the website (hosted at the University of Lyon2) to the main
 TC18 website at Uppsala.  Please  update your bookmarks if they point
 at these pages.

 images (given by E.  Remy) and  a library to manipulate bitmap images
 of dimension 2 to 4 (thanks to E. Thiel).
