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

               Pursuant to an Alliance Agreement dated June 30, 2000
between the Issuer and Hewlett-Packard, Hewlett-Packard acquired 940,000
shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, (the "Shares"), and a warrant (the
"Warrant") to purchase an additional 250,000 of the Issuer's Common Stock,
at an exercise price of $20.875 per share. The transactions contemplated in
the Alliance Agreement are the consideration for the Shares and the
Warrant.

ITEM 4.        PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

               The purpose of the transaction is for Hewlett-Packard to
make an equity investment in the Issuer in connection with the integration
of the products of Hewlett-Packard's OpenView electronic enterprise and
OpenView service provider business segments with the products of the Issuer.
Pursuant to the Alliance Agreement, Hewlett-Packard and the Issuer will
jointly market and make available to existing and prospective customers the
products of Hewlett-Packard OpenView and the Issuer, as integrated, and will
provide customers the opportunity to replace Hewlett-Packard OpenView's
Desktop Administrator products and services with the Radia products of
the Issuer. Concurrently with the execution of the Alliance Agreement,
Hewlett-Packard and the Issuer also entered into a Distribution Agreement,
a Stockholder Rights Agreement and a letter agreement that provides that
the Issuer will consider the possibility of a Hewlett-Packard board
representative at the meetings of its board of directors.

               Except as disclosed below, Hewlett-Packard does not have any
present plan or proposal as a stockholder which relates to, or would result
in any action with respect to, the matters related in paragraphs (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

               Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholder Rights Agreement,
Hewlett-Packard has agreed that during the period ending June 30, 2002,
Hewlett-Packard and its affiliates will not acquire, or enter into
discussions, negotiations, arrangements or understandings with any third
party to acquire beneficial ownership of any voting stock of the Issuer,
any securities convertible into or exchangeable for the voting stock, or
any other right to acquire the voting stock (except, in any case, by way of
dividends or other distributions or offerings of Issuer securities made
available to holders of any class of voting stock generally) without the
prior written consent of the Issuer, if the effect of the acquisition would
be to increase the voting power of all voting stock beneficially owned by
Hewlett-Packard and its affiliates at the time of the acquisition to more
than 10% of the total voting power of the Issuer's Common Stock.

               Under the Stockholder Rights Agreement, Hewlett-Packard is
not required to obtain the prior written consent of the Issuer to engage in
any acquisition of the voting stock under certain circumstances. Written
consent is not required following (i) the commencement of and prior to the
completion or termination of the acquisition by a person or a 13D Group (as
defined in the Stockholder Rights Agreement), of beneficial ownership of
voting stock representing 20% or more of the then-outstanding voting stock,
(ii) the announcement or commencement by a person or 13D Group, of a tender
or exchange offer to acquire voting stock which, if successful, would
result in such person or 13D Group owning 20% or more of the then-
outstanding voting stock, or (iii) the entering into by the Issuer, or
publicly announced determination by the Issuer to seek to enter into, any
merger, sale or other business combination transaction pursuant to which
(A) the outstanding shares of Issuer's Common Stock would be converted into
cash or securities of another person or 13D Group, (B) 50% or more of the
then-outstanding shares of Issuer's Common Stock would be owned by persons
other than the then-current holders of shares of Issuer's Common Stock, or
(C) all or substantially all of the Issuer's assets would be sold to any
person or 13D Group (unless the Issuer's stockholders will hold voting
stock representing at least 50% of the voting power of the person or 13D
Group purchasing such assets immediately prior to such sale of all or
substantially all of the Issuer's assets).

               Further, under the Stockholder Rights Agreement, during the
period ending June 30, 2001, none of the Shares may be offered for sale,
sold, assigned or transferred to any person other than an affiliate of
Hewlett-Packard. From June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002, no more than 470,000
of the Shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar
events), may be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred to any
person other than an affiliate of Hewlett-Packard. These transfer
restrictions will terminate upon the consummation of a change in control of
the Issuer. Moreover, with certain exceptions, Hewlett-Packard and each of
its successors and assigns and transferees, as long as they hold
registrable securities, may not sell during any calendar quarter an amount
of the Shares and the Warrant shares, including any shares of Issuer's
Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer issued as (or issuable upon
the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security that is
issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange
for, or in replacement of, the shares received as consideration, in the
aggregate, in excess of two percent of the outstanding Issuer Common Stock.

               Pursuant to the Stockholder Rights Agreement,
Hewlett-Packard has agreed that during the period ending June 30, 2002, if
Hewlett-Packard intends to sell securities with voting power constituting
less than five percent of the total voting power of the Issuer to any
person, other than a Qualified Purchaser (as defined in the Stockholder
Rights Agreement), that beneficially owns five percent or more of the total
voting power of the Issuer, as indicated on a Schedule 13D or 13G filed
with the SEC, then Hewlett-Packard will provide written notice to the
Issuer providing the Issuer with the first right to acquire the securities
Hewlett-Packard intends to sell free and clear of all liens. For a period
of ten business days after delivery of the notice, the Issuer will be
entitled to elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the securities
described in the notice, at the price per share described in the notice.
The notice need not be provided where the sale transaction is (i) an
underwritten public offering as defined in the Stockholder Rights
Agreement, (ii) a tender offer, merger, reorganization or consolidation of
the Issuer or (iii) a sale of the Issuer's Common Stock in a transaction
where a majority of the Issuer's Common Stock is held by stockholders other
than Hewlett-Packard or a majority of the Issuer's Common Stock held by
affiliates of the Issuer is being sold.

ITEM 5.        INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

               The aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by
Hewlett-Packard is 1,190,000 (including the Warrant shares), which
represents 6.0% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock after giving
effect to the issuance of Shares and the exercise of the Warrant as
described in this statement (based upon the representation of the Issuer in
its Form 10-K405, filed on June 27, 2000, that it had 18,763,759 shares of
Common Stock outstanding as of June 12, 2000).

               Hewlett-Packard has the sole power to vote the 1,190,000
shares beneficially owned by it (including the Warrant shares) and has the
sole power to dispose of such shares.

               Other than the acquisition of the Shares and the Warrant as
described in this Schedule 13D, there have been no transactions by
Hewlett-Packard in the Issuer's Common Stock in the past sixty days.

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

(a)     ALLIANCE AGREEMENT

        The Alliance Agreement is described in Items 3 and 4.
