Item 5. Other events:

James W. France, Jr. announced on May 13, 1996 that, effective immediately, he
is retiring from
the Company as its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.  This
action is the
culmination of a succession plan he started a year ago.  Mr. France stated that
he believes in the
future of the Company.  He indicated that this was an appropriate time for him
to pursue other
personal and business interests.  He agreed to assist the Company in its
current efforts in a
consulting and advising capacity.

The Board of Directors accepted the resignation with regret.  The Board noted
that Mr. France's
efforts over the last eight years have helped to support the completion of the
Company's new
WriteTouch product.  The Board accepted Mr. France's offer of advice and
consulting services,
with terms to be negotiated.

The Board has appointed Bernard H. Eckstein, a Director, as acting Chairman/CEO.
