ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

     Saztec International, Inc.'s (the "Company") revolving credit facility was
scheduled to mature on May 22, 1995.  By oral statements, confirmed by written
amendment dated June 2, 1995, the lender extended the maturity of the revolving
credit facility to June 15, 1995.  An amendment to the revolving credit facility
dated March 22, 1995, set forth various conditions to the loan, including the
conditions that the Company maintain a certain minimum consolidated net worth
and a maximum ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated net
worth.  Since March 31, 1995, the Company has not been in compliance with either
of these financial covenants, but the lender has continued to make advances to
the Company under the revolving credit facility.  In the June 2, 1995,
amendment, the lender waived compliance with these financial covenants until
June 15, 1995.

     The lender has expressed some willingness to extend further the revolving
credit facility, but the lender is under no obligation to do so.

     The liquidity of the Company is severely threatened by the scheduled
maturity of the revolving credit facility unless the Company is able to (i)
negotiate a meaningful extension of that facility, (ii) replace that facility
with a comparable or better credit facility, (iii) obtain additional capital.
The Company is exploring, and will continue to explore, opportunities to
alleviate the liquidity pressures, including replacement of the revolving credit
facility and additional private placements of securities.  There can be no
assurances that the Company will be successful in these or related efforts.  The
failure of the Company to solve its short-term liquidity pressures could
directly affect the ability of the Company to operate as a going concern.

Mr. Robert P. Dunne, Chairman
Saztec International, Inc.
6700 Corporate Drive
Kansas City, Missouri 64120

Dear Mr. Dunne:

As you know, the Authority to Loan previously extended to Saztec International,
Inc. and all of its subsidiaries ("Saztec") by this bank expired on March 15,
1995.  In that connection, you have requested that this bank's discount
committee consider continuing to extend revolving credit to Saztec predicated
off a number of points outlined to the writer in your letter dated March 9,
1995.  Your letter to the writer dated March 9, 1995, a copy of which is
attached, will be a part of this agreement.

In consideration of your expressed desire to consummate a credit line with
another financial institution, the discount committee of UMB Bank, n.a. has
favorably considered your request and approved an Authority to Loan (the
"Authority to Loan") on the terms and conditions set forth in this letter.

  1. UMB Bank, n.a. hereby extends to Saztec an Authority to Loan in the amount
     of $750,000 from March 15, 1995 through April 30, 1995, provided that the
     outstanding principal amount of all advances under such Authority to Loan
     at no time exceeds an amount equal to 80% of Saztec's qualified accounts
     receivable.  "Qualified accounts receivable" shall have the meaning set
     forth in a Security Agreement to be executed by Saztec not later than the
     date of the first advance under the Authority to Loan.

  2. All advances under the Authority to Loan will be evidenced by a Master
     Revolving Note on this bank's standard form.  Such note shall be payable on
     demand, but if no demand, not later than April 30, 1995.

  3. All advances under the Authority to Loan are subject to Saztec being in
     full and complete compliance with all terms and conditions stated in this
     letter at the time of each such advance and the continuation of extensions
     of credit are subject to Saztec being in full compliance with all terms
     hereof at all times.

  4. All advances under the Authority to Loan will be secured by all accounts
     receivable of Saztec, now or hereafter existing, notwithstanding the 80% of
     qualified accounts receivable basis for making advances, and by all
     inventory, machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures of Saztec nor owned
     or hereafter acquired or created.

  5. Saztec will continue to maintain a lock box for the receipt of all accounts
     receivable payments over which this bank has sole access and also a cash
     collateral account with this bank into which all accounts receivable
     payments will be deposited.

  6. All advances under the Authority to Loan shall bear interest per annum at
     3% over this bank's prime rate of interest, adjusted daily.  For purposes
     hereof, this bank's prime rate of interest shall be that rate of interest
     which it states, from time to time, to be its prime rate of interest.

  7. Each extension of credit under the Authority to Loan shall be subject, in
     the sole discretion of this bank, to the occurrence of no adverse material
     change in (i) the financial condition of Saztec or (ii) the aging or
     collectability of its accounts receivable.

  8. This bank must at all times have a first priority perfected security
     interest in all personal property of Saztec and all proceeds of all of the
     foregoing and all common stock of all subsidiaries of Saztec.

  9. At all times the consolidated net worth of Saztec must be at least equal to
     $2,200,000, the calculation of such to be performed in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

 10. At all times the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated
     net worth shall not exceed 2.5 to 1, the calculation of such to be
     performed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
     consistently applied.

 11. Saztec must provide this bank with monthly financial statements and
     accounts receivable listings and agings and a borrowing base certificate in
     form and substance acceptable to this bank not later than 20 days following
     the end of each month, such financial statements to include, at a minimum,
     a balance sheet, an income statement and a statement of cash flow.

 12. Should the terms of this letter and any terms of any Promissory note or
     Security Agreement executed or continued in connection herewith be in
     conflict, then the terms of any such note or Security Agreement shall
     prevail.

 13. All documentation evidencing the Authority to Loan and any collateral
     therefore shall be on this bank's standard forms and must be satisfactory
     in all respects to this bank and its attorneys.

 14. All costs incurred by this bank in extending credit under the Authority to
     Loan must be paid by Saztec.

 15. It is further understood that Saztec is completing interrogatories relative
     to its litigation against DEC for unrecovered costs related to a
     terminated contract.  Management of Saztec has anticipated negotiating a
     settlement ranging from $200,000 to $400,000 and has committed a minimum of
     50% of the proceeds received to further reduce the bank's Authority to Loan
     availability during this time period.

 16. This letter supersedes any and all prior agreements, whether written or
     verbal, between Saztec and this bank relating to the subject matter hereof
     except existing Promissory Notes, Security Agreements and financing
     statements.  By signing below, you and this bank agree that there are no
     unwritten oral agreements between us relating to the transactions proposed
     hereunder.

     AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM
     ENFORCING PAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT
