    This  constitutes  Amendment No. 9 ("Amendment No. 9") to Schedule 13D filed
by  the  undersigned  on  March  18,  1995  (the  "Schedule  13D").   Except  as
specifically  amended by this  Amendment  No. 9, the  Schedule  13D, as amended,
remains in full force and effect.  Defined  terms  herein shall have the meaning
specified in the Schedule 13D, except as otherwise provided herein.

         Item 3 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

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

         The aggregate  purchase  price of the 1,858,669  Shares of Common Stock
owned by Steel  Partners II is  $2,018,995.  The Shares of Common Stock owned by
Steel Partners II were acquired with partnership funds.

         The  aggregate  purchase  price of the 339,350  Shares of Common  Stock
beneficially owned by Services is $525,055. Such Shares were acquired with funds
it  manages  for a foreign  investment  company  (the  "Fund").  Pursuant  to an
agreement  (the  "Management  Agreement")  with  the  Fund,  Services  has  been
appointed to manage,  on a  discretionary  basis,  certain of the Fund's assets,
which are  maintained in a brokerage  account in the Fund's name. The Management
Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time. Therefore,  pursuant to
Rule  13d-3(d)(1)(C),  the Fund may also be deemed the  beneficial  owner of the
Shares reported to be beneficially owned by Services.

         Item 5 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a) The aggregate  percentage of Shares of Common Stock  reported owned
by each person named herein is based upon 12,290,893 Shares  outstanding,  which
is the total  number of Shares of Common  Stock  outstanding  as reported in the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

As of the close of business on August 16, 1995:

         Steel Partners II beneficially  owns 1,858,669  Shares of Common Stock,
constituting  approximately  15.1%  of  the  Shares  outstanding;  and  Services
beneficially owns 339,350 Shares,  constituting approximately 2.8% of the Shares
outstanding.   Collectively,   the  Reporting   Persons  own  2,198,019  Shares,
constituting  approximately 17.9% of the Issuer's Common Stock outstanding.  Mr.
Lichtenstein and Mr. Butler may be deemed to beneficially own 2,198,019  Shares,
representing  approximately  17.9% of the Issuer's Common Stock outstanding,  by
virtue of their authority to vote and dispose of the 1,858,669 Shares owned by

<PAGE>

Steel Partners II and the 339,350 Shares managed by Services. All of such Shares
were acquired in open-market transactions.

         (b) By virtue of their  positions  with Steel Partners II and Services,
each of Messrs.  Lichtenstein  and Butler has the sole power to vote and dispose
of the Shares reported in this Schedule 13D.

         (c) Schedule A annexed  hereto lists all  transactions  in the Issuer's
Common Stock since the filing of the previous  amendment to this Schedule 13D by
the Reporting Persons.

         (d) Other than the Fund, no person other than the Reporting  Persons is
known to have the  right to  receive,  or the  power to direct  the  receipt  of
dividends  from, or to the proceeds  from, the sale of such Shares of the Common
Stock.

         (e) Not applicable.
