Re: MediQual Systems, Inc.
Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form 8-A
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We hereby apply to withdraw the Registration Statement on Form 8-A (the
"8-A Registration Statement") of MediQual Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 31, 1996, because the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, file number 333-04883 (the "S-1
Registration Statement"), has not yet become effective and is likely not to
become effective prior to July 30, 1996, the date on which the 8-A Registration
Statement will automatically become effective if not earlier withdrawn.
The Company expects to file a new Registration Statement on Form 8-A,
substantially identical to the 8-A Registration Statement, as soon as possible
once the Company becomes reasonably certain as to the date on which it will seek
effectiveness of the S-1 Registration Statement.
If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please call Johan V.
Brigham, Barry N. Hurwitz or the undersigned, all of Bingham, Dana & Gould LLP,
at 617-951-8000
Very truly yours,
MEDIQUAL SYSTEMS, INC.
