     The Schedule 13D initially filed on November 19, 1997 (the "Schedule 13D")
by Idanta Partners Ltd., The Dunn Family Trust, The Perscila Faily Trust and
Jonathan Huberman relating to the common stock, $.10 par value per share (the
"Common Stock"), of GateField Corporation (the "Company"), is hereby amended by
this Amendment No. 1 as set forth below.

     As of January 1, 1998, The Perscila Faily Trust ("PFT") was no longer a
partner of Idanta Partners Ltd., which caused PFT's beneficial ownership of the
Common Stock of the Company, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3, to
thereafter constitute less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company. Accordingly, PFT is no longer a Reporting Person, as defined in this
Schedule 13D.

business address, the present principal occupation or employment, and the name,
principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which
such employment is conducted, of any Reporting Person enumerated in Instruction
C who is a natural person. The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint
filing because they may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, although neither the fact of this filing nor
anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting
Persons that a group exists.

        The source of the funds used by such Reporting Persons to purchase the

plus sums borrowed from banks and brokerage firm margin accounts to operate such

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Paragraph (d) of Item 4 as reported in the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as
follows:

        (d)     On December 15, 1997, at the Company's 1997 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, the stockholders of the Company elected DJD and JH to the
Company's Board of Directors.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of Item 5 as reported in the Schedule 13D are
hereby amended as follows:

        (a)-(b)

                IDANTA. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that
Idanta owns beneficially, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, is 7,240,350 which
constitutes approximately 16.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Idanta holds sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares
exercised by its general partners, DFT and JH. Mr. Dunn, in his capacity as
trustee, exercises the voting power vested in DFT.

                DFT. Because of its position as a general partner of Idanta, DFT
shares voting and investment power with respect to the 7,240,350 shares held by
Idanta with JH, and has sole voting and investment power with respect to the
1,833,000 shares it holds. Accordingly, DFT may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the
Act, be deemed to be a beneficial owner of 9,073,350 shares of Common Stock in
the aggregate, which constitutes approximately 20.3% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock. Mr. Dunn, in his capacity as Trustee, exercises the voting
power vested in DFT.

                JH. Because of his position as a general partner of Idanta, JH
may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 7,240,350 shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by Idanta which constitutes approximately 16.5% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock.

        (c)     Other than the transactions reported herein, the Reporting
Persons have purchased no shares of Common Stock or Warrants since the filing of
the Schedule 13D on November 19, 1997.

        (e)     On January 1, 1998, PFT ceased to be the owner of more than five
percent of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.
