a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final
order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

The OCM Principal Fund acquired an aggregate of 226,000 shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock through broker-dealers of which 51,000 shares were purchased on
April 14, 1997 and 175,000 shares were purchased on April 15, 1997.
Approximately $2,991,250 of funds, including brokerage commission, were used by
the OCM Principal Fund for the acquisition of such shares of Common Stock which
were obtained from the working capital of such limited partnership.  The OCM
Principal Fund had previously obtained other shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock, reported herein, through open market purchase of shares through

<PAGE>

broker-dealers.  The TCW Principal Fund had obtained the shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock, reported herein, primarily in connection with the bankruptcy
restructuring of the Issuer (then known as JWP, Inc.).

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The shares of Common Stock acquired on April 14, 1997 and April 15, 1997 were
acquired for investment purposes.  The investment strategy of the OCM Principal
Fund is to invest in entities in which there is a potential for the OCM
Principal Fund to exercise significant influence or control, and consequently,
Oaktree has indicated to the Issuer that it may purchase additional shares, but
has made no proposals and has entered into no agreements which relate to or
would result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D;
however, as part of its ongoing review of investment alternatives, Oaktree has
not excluded the possibility of considering such matters in the future or
formulating a plan with respect to such matters, subject to applicable law, and,
from time to time, Oaktree may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to
management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, other stockholders of the
Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.  Based on continuing
evaluation of the Issuer's businesses and prospects, alternative investment
opportunities and all other factors deemed relevant, additional shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock may be acquired in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions, or some or all of the shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock may be sold.

ITEM 5. INTEREST AND SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the OCM Principal Fund beneficially owns,
and has sole power to vote and dispose of, 966,000 shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock which is approximately 10.2% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock.

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the TCW Principal Fund beneficially owns
107,645 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock which is approximately 1.1% of the
outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Oaktree, (i) in its capacity as the General
Partner of the OCM Principal Fund, may be deemed to beneficially own, and has
sole power to vote and dispose of, 966,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
held by the OCM Principal Fund, and (ii) in its capacity as the fund manager of
the TCW Principal Fund pursuant to the subadvisory agreement between TAMCO and
Oaktree, may be deemed to have power to vote and dispose of certain of the
107,645 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock as to which the TCW Principal Fund
has power to vote and dispose, all of which ((i) and (ii)) constitutes 1,073,645
shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

  (c) Except for the purchases by the OCM Principal Fund, neither Oaktree nor
the OCM Principal Fund, and to the best of their knowledge, none of their
respective executive officers, directors, or general partners has effected
transactions involving the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock during the last
60 days.

  (d) None

  (e) Not applicable

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

TAMCO, as General Partner of the TCW Principal Fund, receives a management fee
for its management of the TCW Principal Fund.  Pursuant to a subadvisory
agreement between TAMCO and Oaktree, Oaktree acts as investment manager of the
TCW Principal Fund and receives a portion of the management fee received by
TAMCO for its management of the TCW Principal Fund.  The TCW Principal Fund's
investment strategy is to invest in entities in which there is a potential for
the TCW Principal Fund to exercise significant influence.

Except to the extent the securities referred to in this Statement constitute
assets of the TCW Principal Fund, there are no contracts, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise) among or between any member of Oaktree, the
OCM Principal Fund or, to the best of their knowledge, their respective
executive officers, directors or general partners, or between or among any of
such persons and with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
