New address of Tadao Saito
by Otto Spaniol 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

Dear all, many of you may have asked why Tadao Saito was seemingly less active. The reason is that he got a new job (congratulations) and that his communication link to TC6 was, therefore, unfortunately broken for a while. His new address is: Prof. Dr. Tadao Saito Chief Scientist Toyota Infotechnology Center 2-1-23 Nakameguro,Meguroku Tokyo 153-0061 Japan phone +81-3-5723-2600 fax +81-3-5723-2690 Email saito(a)jp.toyota-itc.com I made the correction in our group exploder (thus Tadao is now allowed to distribute emails via that list). Herbert, would you please do the correction, too, in the web pages? Best regards Otto
