Item 1.     Security and Issuer.

         This filing by Frederick Hayes-Roth (the "Reporting  Person"),  relates

Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation  (the "Issuer").  The principal  executive
offices  of the  Issuer  are  located  at  1810  Embarcadero  Road,  Palo  Alto,
California 94303. Information regarding the Reporting Person is set forth below.

Item 2.    Identity and Background.

         This  Statement is being filed by the  Reporting  Person based upon his

options to purchase  Common Stock held by him. The Reporting  Person's  business
address is 1810  Embarcadero  Road, Palo Alto,  California  94303. His principal
occupation is serving as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer.

         During  the last five  years,  the  Reporting  Person  has not been (a)
convicted in any criminal  proceeding  (excluding traffic violations and similar
misdemeanors),  or  (b)  a  party  to  a  civil  proceeding  of  a  judicial  or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is  subject  to a  judgment,  decree  or  final  order  enjoining  future
violations  of, or prohibiting  or mandating  activities  subject to, federal or
state  securities  laws or finding any violation  with respect to such laws. The
Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States.

Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         From June 16,  1988  through  October  8,  1998,  as  reported  in this
Schedule  13D, the  Reporting  Person has acquired a total of 360,543  shares of
Common Stock,  for $43,768 upon exercise of stock  options.  The source of funds
used in  making  these  acquisitions  was the  personal  funds of the  Reporting
Person. No portion of the  consideration  used by the Reporting Person in making
the purchases described above was borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose
of  acquiring,  holding,  trading or voting the Common  Stock.  Pursuant to Rule

monitor his investment in the Common Stock on a continuing  basis. The Reporting
Person  may  acquire  additional  shares of Common  Stock  through  open  market
purchases,  privately negotiated transactions,  or through the exercise of stock
options;  he may,  however,  dispose all or a portion of shares of Common  Stock
through the open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions to one
or more purchasers  which may include the Issuer;  and the Reporting Person will
consider other  alternatives  available in connection with the securities of the
Issuer.  Although the foregoing  represents  the range of  activities  presently
contemplated by the Reporting Person with respect to the Common Stock, it should
be noted that the possible  activities  of the  Reporting  Person are subject to
change at any time.

         Except as otherwise stated herein,  the Reporting Person has no present
plans or proposals which may relate to or would result in:

11.80% of the total shares of Common Stock  outstanding  of 4,986,115  (based on
