     Item 5.  Other Events.

              As previously reported in a Current Report on Form
     8-K, Registrant on August 25, 1995 acquired all of the
     outstanding capital stock of each of DataQuick Information
     Systems ("DataQuick") and DQ Investment Corporation
     ("AccuDat") (collectively, DataQuick and AccuDat are
     hereinafter referred to as the "Acquired Companies").  The
     acquisition of the Acquired Companies was accounted for as a
     pooling of interests, and in connection therewith Registrant
     is filing as Exhibit 99 hereto a copy of its first quarter
     financial statements as they will appear when restated to
     reflect the pooling of interests combination.     


          The stockholders' equity and operations of the Acquired
     Companies are not material in relation to Registrant.  As
     such, Registrant has recorded the combination by restating
     stockholders' equity as of April 1, 1995 without restating
     prior years' statements of earnings to reflect the pooling
     of interests combination.

     Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

              (c)  Exhibits

              Exhibit 99     Restated Financial Statements for
                             the quarterly period ended June 30,
                             1995
