Acknowledgment
The author would like to express our special gratitude to, first of all,
the members of the KANT group
under the leadership of Professor Dr. Michael E. Pohst at
Technische Universitat Berlin.
Their wonderful program KASH [9] enables the author to write
this program easily and comfortably. In particular, the author
would like to thank Dr. Claus Fieker for his kind and valuable (and patient)
discussion on KASH during the preparation of this software.
The author also would like to give thanks to Professor Joseph Silverman at Brown University for his kind advice on writing height functions and to Professor Ian Connell at McGill University for his nicely written program Apecs, whose source code is very helpful in writing TECC.
Last but not least, the author would like to express his appreciation to the authors of ``free softwares'' like emacs, perl and linux. Without these softwares, TECC could not be written so easily.
