[Michal Bazynski <bazik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.
I found the following article in this list's archives, and I would very
much like to get the records described there.  Does anybody know how can
I do that?  The original email is 4 years old and unfortunatelly 
its author's email is not valid anymore.

Around 1987 to 1992, a TV company in Japan made a program which shows
professional player's mini-go (9x9 games). This TV program was
sponsored by Fujitsu, and Fujitsu has a copywrite for all the games.
There was a book containing 150 games from the TV program, and a
floppy based on-line data of about 300 games. But this book is a kind
of private publication by Fujitsu and only 500 or so copies made in
1993 are all gone out. Masahiro Okazaki of Go Culture Study Group
succeeded to persuade Fujitsu to permits the use of these data for
research, so if you can accept the following conditions, we can send
the data to you.

English description of the data by Mr. Okazaki is rather long, so I
will include only the beginning part of it. If you are interested in
obtaining the data, please contact me.
