My curiosity was caught by a title in the version of the Siegen
programme distributed in:

Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 3, No. 1129. Monday, 5 Mar 1990.

Subject: PROGRAMME ALLC-ACH 90

namely:

Friday, 8 June
Main Topic: Methods and Applications
2:00-2:30pm Parallel Session (Chair: N.N.)
l...]
The Total of the Distances between the Languages
as an Index of the Compactness of the Language
Families (Yuri Tambovtsev, Lvov Lesotechnical
Institute)

Ideally I would like some comparative linguist (or whoever is
interested) to tell me about this paper, and maybe acquire a copy of
the paper from Tambovtsev if it is available, or at least find his
postal address.

Is there someone who will be attending the Siegen conference who is
also interested in this paper and willing to communicate with me about
it?

ALLC-ACH 90
The New Medium
4 - 9 June 1990
Siegen

To whom it may concern

With the start of the conference approaching may I take this opportunity
to briefly describe "How to reach Siegen?"

Siegen is situated in the centre of the Federal Republic of Germany.

By car you will reach Siegen:
>From Frankfurt: follow the "Autobahn" (motorway) A 7 north
and turn west into A 45 (direction Dortmund)
>From Duesseldorf/Ruhrgebiet: take Autobahn A 430 to Dortmund,
turn south into A 45 (direction Frankfurt)
>From Koeln (Cologne): take Autobahn A 4 to Olpe, turn south
into A 45 (direction Frankfurt)

Leave Autobahn A 45 at exit "Siegen/Netphen"

By train you will reach Siegen:
>From Frankfurt Main Station there are trains about every hour
to Siegen-Weidenau Station.
>From Duesseldorf there are trains about every two hours
to Siegen-Weidenau Station.
>From Koeln (Cologne) there are trains about every hour
to Siegen Central Station.

Transport from station to your hotel might be handled most conveniently
by taxi. The same applies for your way to the Get-Together-Cocktail
which will take place at "Queens Hotel", Kaisergarten, Siegen at 6:00pm
on June, 4th.

The Conference will take place at the University of Siegen in the
building complex along Adolf Reichwein-Strasse.

You can reach the university:
by car: Follow the sign "Universitaet"; take either the
city freeway (Huettentalstrasse) or B 54/62 from Siegen Centre
to Weidenau (about 4 km), turn into B 62. Please,
pay attention to the ALLC-ACH posters showing you the way.
by bus: From Weidenau railway station take bus
(lines 33 or 41) uphill to Haardter Berg
(bus-stop "Robert Schumann-Strasse).

Overseas participants who have not yet received (or will not receive in
time) their documents through "Congress Partner", Bremen should not
worry. These will be held for them and can be obtained at either the
Queens Hotel (starting at 12:00am on June 4th or at the Get-
Together-Cocktail) or at the Conference Information Desk during the
following days.

I hope you will have a pleasant journey and look forward to seeing you
in Siegen soon.

Yours sincerely

Rolf Grossmann
(Organization Assistant)
