CUSIP No. 002448 10 8                    SCHEDULE 13D

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.
- -----------------------------
The securities to which this statement relates are the shares of
Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value ( the "Shares"), of AW
Computer Systems, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("AW").  AW's
principal executive offices are at 9000A Commerce Pkwy, Mt.
Laurel, NJ  08054.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.
- ---------------------------------
The person filing this statement is Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., a
Florida corporation ("W-D"), the principal offices and
principal business of which are located at 5050 Edgewood Ct.,
Jacksonville, FL  32205.

W-D's principal business is operating retail grocery stores.

Neither  W-D, nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of its
executive officers, directors or persons who may be deemed to be
controlling  persons of W-D, during the last five years, has (i)
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations  or  similar  misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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.
- -----------------------------------------------------------
As consideration for the warrants that were issued to W-D on
October 28, 1993, W-D agreed to enter into a Marketing and
Royalty Agreement with AW.

By operation of anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, the
number of Shares into which W-D could convert the warrants
automatically and without additional consideration increased from
200,000 to 236,773 on May 15, 1995.  Thus, no additional funds or
other consideration was used in the transaction.

As consideration for the 250,000 Shares that W-D purchased from
AW on March 8, 1996, W-D used $500,000 in cash from working
capital.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
- --------------------------------
On October 28, 1993, W-D acquired warrants that were immediately
convertible into 200,000 Shares as a long term, passive
investment in AW.  At that time W-D acquired, and currently W-D
holds, such beneficial ownership for its own account and not with
a view to distribute such beneficial ownership.

The automatic operation of anti-dilution provisions of the
warrants caused the beneficial ownership by W-D of Shares to
increase from 200,000 to 236,773 on May 15, 1995.

On March 8, 1996, W-D purchased 250,000 Shares directly from AW.
Such purchase was made as a long term, passive investment in AW.
At that time W-D acquired, and currently W-D holds, such Shares
for its own account and not with a view to distribute such
Shares.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
- -----------------------------------------------
(a)      The aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned
directly or indirectly by W-D is 486,773.  As of March 8, 1996,
this represented 9.794% of AW's outstanding Class A Common Stock.

Of such 486,773 Shares beneficially owned by W-D, W-D is deemed
to beneficially own 236,773 Shares as a result of the currently
exercisable warrants owned by W-D and W-D beneficially owns
250,000 additional Shares.

(b)      W-D has sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares.

(c)      On October 28, 1993, W-D acquired warrants that were
immediately convertible into 200,000 Shares (or 4.963% of
outstanding Shares).  As consideration for the warrants, W-D
agreed to enter into a Marketing and Royalty Agreement with AW.
The transaction was effected through direct negotiations between
AW and W-D.

On May 15, 1995, without additional consideration from W-D the
anti-dilution provisions of the warrants automatically caused the
beneficial ownership by W-D of Shares to increase from 200,000 to
236,773 (or 5.228% of outstanding Shares).  The warrants are
immediately exercisable by W-D until October 27, 1998, at a
strike price of $2.00 per Share.

On March 8, 1996, W-D purchased 250,000 Shares for $500,000.  The
transaction was effected through direct negotiations between AW
and W-D.

(d)      None.

(e)      Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
None.

Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
- ------------------------------------------
None.
