     Item 5.  Other Events.

              On August 25, 1995, pursuant to the terms of an
     Acquisition Agreement dated August 25, 1995 (the
     "Acquisition Agreement"), Registrant acquired all of the
     outstanding capital stock of each of DataQuick Information
     Systems, a California corporation ("DataQuick"), and DQ
     Investment Corporation, a California corporation ("AccuDat")
     (collectively, DataQuick and AccuDat are hereinafter
     referred to as the "Acquired Companies").  Registrant
     exchanged 984,839 shares of its common stock for all of the
     outstanding shares of capital stock of the Acquired
     Companies.  Additionally, Registrant assumed all of the
     currently outstanding options granted under DataQuick's
     employee stock option plans, with the result that 808,370
     shares of Registrant's common stock are now subject to
     issuance upon exercise of such options.  The acquisition was
     in the form of a merger of two wholly-owned subsidiaries of
     Registrant into each of DataQuick and AccuDat and will be
     accounted for as a pooling of interests.

              The Acquired Companies are headquartered in San
     Diego, California.  DataQuick provides real property information
     to support a broad range of applications including marketing,
     appraisal, real estate, banking, mortgage and insurance. 
     This information is distributed on-line and via CD-ROM, list
     services, and microfiche.  AccuDat provides data entry services
     to DataQuick.
