AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D                                     June 7, 1999


            enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating

ITEM 3.     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

            Not applicable.  No shares were acquired by either Trinity or

ITEM 4.     PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

            This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed to report a
material decrease in the beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock by
each of Trinity and Mr. Butler due solely to the issuance of an additional
7,060,000 shares of Common Stock by the Company in connection with a private
placement which closed on May 28, 1999.


ITEM 5.     INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

      (a)- b)     Trinity beneficially owns 100,000 Shares pursuant to a
                  warrant, presently exercisable at $0.10 per share. Trinity's
                  beneficial ownership now represents less than one percent of
                  the Company's outstanding Shares. Trinity, through its
                  President, Mr. Butler, has sole voting and dispositive power
                  over such Shares.

      (c)         Trinity has not been involved in any Share transactions during
                  the last sixty days.

      (d)         No other person is known to have the right to receive or the
                  power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
                  from the sale of, any Shares.

      (e)         Trinity ceased to be the beneficial owner of five percent or
                  more of the Company's Shares on May 28, 1999.
      --------------------------

      (a) - (b)   Mr. Butler beneficially owns 325,000 Shares, which includes
                  director stock options to purchase 200,000 Shares, presently
                  exercisable at $0.10 per share; and the Shares held by
                  Trinity as described above. In addition, Mr. Butler is
                  deemed to own, indirectly, 25,000 restricted Shares owned by
                  ST Oil Company, for which Mr. Butler serves as President and
                  Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Butler's beneficial ownership
                  (including the Trinity and ST Oil holdings) represents
                  approximately 3.2 percent of the Company's outstanding
                  Shares. Mr. Butler has sole voting and dispositive power
                  over stock options to purchase 200,000 Shares. Mr. Butler
                  shares voting and dispositive power with Trinity for the
                  warrant to purchase 100,000 Shares, and with ST Oil Company
                  for the 25,000 restricted Shares.

            (c)   Mr. Butler has not been involved in any Share transactions
                  during the last sixty days.
