It does: they filled my order with admirable promptness. I sent my order on 9 September, the package (volumes 2 and 3 of Ishida's Joseki Dictionary) was postmarked on 14 Sep, and I received it on 23 Sep (book rate through U.S. Snail). They also sent an in-house newsletter, "The GO Gazette", dated Sep 1985. It has a few blurbs on the front, including an announcement that the First U.S. GO Congress was a success, with 130 participants. (Was that sponsored by the American Go Association?) They also apparently sell Nemesis (the program by Bruce Wilcox) for $75.00 on the IBM PC. Its strength is 20 kyu, and they expect to get a stronger version soon. The newsletter includes a reprint (with permission) of an article on go from Games Magazine, July 1985. Sabaki Go Company, P.O. Box 23, Carlisle PA 17013 A friend of mine called Games of Berkeley (number given in net.games.go a few days ago), and they filled his order and sent the books immediately. So they're O.K. also (even though they don't seem to be answering their 800 number). -- Jim Gillogly {decvax, vortex}!randvax!jim jim@rand-unix.arpa
