I'm pretty sure he is still around.

I think that's correct.

I had a paper copy, green cover, perhaps given to me by one of the
authors (Yuasa, I think) when he and (I think) Professor Ito came
through Edinburgh sometimes in the early-mid 80s.  I also got KCL 
on a tape from them.  (All such things were destroyed in the fire
that burned down part of Edinburgh near the end of 2002.)

Last I knew (sometime last year) Taiichi Yuasa's e-mail
address was address@hidden

I don't know all of the KCL -> AKCL -> GCL history, but KCL
started off much more restricted than it later became.

For quite a while, AKCL had to be distributed as diffs
(as you probably know).
