ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed by Charlotte G.
     Fischer solely to report a material increase in the percentage of the
     Issuer's Common Stock, without par value ("Common Stock"), that is
     beneficially owned by Ms. Fischer as the result of grants of options
     to purchase  shares of Common Stock as follows: (i)options on 50,000
     shares of Common Stock pursuant to a grant of 1/30/98, and (ii)
     options on 100,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of Ms.
     Fischer's employment agreement, which options vested 3/2/98.

     Ms. Fischer acquired her beneficial ownership in connection with her
     position with Issuer, first as a director and subsequently as Chairman
     of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer.  Ms. Fischer's
     current positions provide her the opportunity to exercise significant
     influence over the management and affairs of Issuer.

     Ms. Fischer intends to change the form of her beneficial ownership
     from time to time by exercising options to purchase additional shares
     of Common Stock.  Ms. Fischer also may sell shares of Common Stock
     from time to time, as market conditions allow, to diversify her
     personal investment portfolio and to provide liquidity.


ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          (a)  As of 3/24/98, Ms. Fischer owned of record 39,400 shares of
               Common Stock.  Ms. Fischer disclaims beneficial ownership of
               an additional 2,400 shares of Common Stock owned of record
               by members of Ms. Fischer's family.

               Ms. Fischer has the right to acquire beneficial ownership
               (immediately or within sixty days) of an additional 786,000
               shares of Common Stock through the exercise of stock
               options.

               Thus, Ms. Fischer beneficially owns 827,800 shares of Common
               Stock.

               Ms. Fischer's beneficial ownership represents 6.9% of the
               Common Stock, based upon a total of 11,256,131 shares of
               Common Stock outstanding as of 12/31/97.

          (b)  Ms. Fischer is deemed to have sole power to direct the vote
               and disposition of all 827,800 shares beneficially owned.

          (c)  Other than the acquisition of options described in Item 4,
               Ms. Fischer has effected no transaction in the Common Stock
               within the past sixty days

          (d)  Not applicable.

          (e)  Not applicable.

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

          Pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated as of 4/29/94 between
          Ms. Fischer and Issuer, Ms. Fischer has been granted the right to
          acquire an additional 16,667 shares of Common Stock at a price
          per share of $5.68, subject, among other things to Ms. Fischer's
          remaining continuously employed by Issuer through 4/29/98, when
          the options will become exercisable.

          The terms of Ms. Fischer's employment with Issuer also provide
          that each fiscal year Issuer will grant an award of fully vested,
          immediately exercisable options to purchase at least 25,000
          shares of Common Stock, which amount may, based upon certain
          performance goals, be increased to a number of options with a
          dollar value equal to 150% of Ms. Fischer's base salary at that
          time (which valuation shall be based on the Black-Scholes
          valuation formula).  Ms. Fischer shall also have the opportunity
          to earn an additional 50,000 shares of restricted stock each year
          by achieving certain performance goals.  In lieu of such
          restricted shares, each year Ms. Fischer may accept a
          performance-based award of restricted shares under Issuer's Stock
          Option and Incentive Plan pursuant to the terms of such Plan as
          in force at that time.
