     This is the First Amendment to a statement on Schedule 13D filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 1995 by Ryback Management
Corporation ("Ryback"), Lindner Growth Fund ("Growth Fund") and Lindner
Bulwark Fund ("Bulwark Fund") with respect to the Common Stock (the "Stock")
of AutoInfo, Inc. (the "Issuer")

     The undersigned hereby amends Item 5 as follows:

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)  Growth Fund beneficially owns 713,000 shares of Stock (approximately
9.19% of the outstanding shares of Stock) and Bulwark Fund beneficially owns
257,850 shares of Stock (approximately 3.32% of the outstanding shares of
Stock).  Ryback, in its capacity as investment adviser to Growth Fund and
Bulwark Fund, may be deemed beneficial owner of such shares.  None of the
individuals identified in Item 2 is the beneficial owner of any shares of
Stock.

(b)  Ryback has sole dispositive power and sole voting power with respect
to the shares owned by Growth Fund and Bulwark Fund.

(c)  Since the filing of the last Schedule 13D, Ryback, Growth Fund and
Bulwark Fund engaged in the following transactions with respect to the
Stock:

Trade Date       Transaction Type        Amount        Price
- - ----------       ----------------        ------        -----
07-12-95              Sale               20,000       $3.125
07-17-95              Sale               50,000        3.094
08-09-95              Sale               10,000        3.25
08-10-95              Sale               20,000        3.25
08-15-95              Sale               30,000        3.25
08-16-95              Sale                8,000        3.25
08-21-95              Sale                7,000        3.3125
10-23-95              Sale               30,000        3.375
10-26-95              Purchase            3,000             

All of the transactions described above were brokers' transations.
  
(d)  No other persons are known to have the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of
Stock held by Growth Fund and Bulwark Fund.

(e)  Other than Bulwark Fund, the reporting persons described in this
Schedule have not ceased to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of the
outstanding shares of Stock.  Bulwark Fund ceased to be the beneficial owner
of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of stock on July 17, 1995.

                             SIGNATURE

     After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief,
I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete
