Dear , I am assisting Professor Geoffrey Fox with the Java Special Issue, which will be published in Concurrency: Practice and Experience in June, 1997. In order to meet the publication requirements for this June date, we will need the text of your paper, "Optimizing Java Bytecodes" along with separate files for each figure (.eps or postscript are preferred). We also need a signed copyright agreement. Would you please either send me the necessary information, or put the files perhaps somewhere where I can get from ftp? If you are unable to obtain a copyright form, please send me your fax number, and I'll fax you a copy. Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately, we have only a few days to send everything to the publisher so your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Terri Canzian CPE Editorial Assistant
