         This  registration  statement  number  333-31027  was  filed  with  the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission on July 10, 1997, to register an additional
50,000 Shares under the 1992 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").  A total
of 130,000 Shares were initially registered under the Plan on October 1, 1992 by
the filing of  registration  statement  number  33-52700.  An additional  30,000
Shares  were  registered  under  the  Plan on June  13,  1994 by the  filing  of
registration  statement  number  33-80172.  Thus,  the  total  number  of Shares
registered under the Plan is 210,000.

         On April  20,  1999,  the  shareholders  of  Metatec  Corporation  (the
predecessor to the  Registrant)  approved a new stock option plan for directors,
the 1999  Directors  Stock Option  Plan.  The 1999  Directors  Stock Option Plan
replaced the Plan.  As a result,  in  accordance  with the terms of the Plan, no
additional  options to purchase Shares may be granted under the Plan. A total of
134,845 Shares are subject to options under the Plan,  leaving a total of 75,155
Shares  that are not  subject to options  under the Plan.  Accordingly,  because
these  Shares  can no longer  become  subject  to  options  under the Plan,  the
Registrant  hereby  requests that 25,155 Shares  registered  under  registration
statement number 33-80172 be deregistered and that all 50,000 Shares  registered
under this registration statement number 333-31027 be deregistered.
