Let X be a quasicomplete locally convex Hausdorff space. A simple proof of the theorem on regular Borel extension of X-valued sigma-additive Baire measures on T is given, which is more natural and direct than the existing ones. Using this result the integral representation and weak compactness of a continuous linear map u: C0(T) rarr X when C0 nsub X are obtained. The proof of the latter result is independent of the use of powerful results such as Theorem 6 of [6] or Theorem 3 (vii) of [13].", pages = "691-703(13)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/klu/cmaj/2002/00000052/00000004/00426271" doi = "doi:10.1023/B:CMAJ.0000027224.01146.63" }
