Kato Tai

[Max Schaefer]

         Apologies for the garbled junk you may have just received. 
         The email system here practically runs on punchcards. What it 
         should have read was ...
         
         Many thanks to those who answered by request for Kato Tai 
         pointers. As many responses were sent to the kinejapan list, 
         they didn't always contain the sender's email, which is why 
         I've been unable to respond personally.
