         The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 23, 1997 is
amended to (i) delete Item 2 in its entirety, (ii) delete Items 7(a) and 7(b) in

Item 5.  Other Events

         On September 23, 1997,  Physician Computer Network,  Inc., a New Jersey
corporation  (the  "Registrant"),  acquired  Printed  Products  Group,  Inc.,  a
Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),  pursuant to an  Agreement  and Plan of
Merger  dated  September  23, 1997 (the  "Merger  Agreement"),  by and among the
Registrant,  Gordon Romer (the "Shareholder"),  the Company, and Solion Corp., a
Delaware  corporation  and a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the  Registrant  (the
"Merger  Sub").  The  acquisition  was structured as a forward merger of Company
with and into the  Merger  Sub (the  "Merger"),  with the  Merger  Sub being the
surviving  corporation  of  the  Merger  and a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the
Registrant.

         The Merger is valued at  $6,250,000  (the "Merger  Consideration"),  of
which $3,125,000 was paid in cash and $3,125,000 was paid by delivery of 450,990
shares of the  Registrant's  Common Stock, par value of $.01 per share. The cash
portion of the Merger Consideration was paid with the Registrant's cash on hand.

         In order to secure the Shareholder's indemnification obligations to the
Registrant  under the  Merger  Agreement,  the  Registrant  and the  Shareholder
entered  into a Pledge  Agreement,  pursuant  to which the  Shareholder  pledged
144,316 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant.

         In  connection  with the Merger,  the  Registrant  and the  Shareholder
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement.  The Registration Rights Agreement
gives the  Shareholder  certain  demand and piggyback  registration  rights with
respect to its shares of Common Stock of the  Registrant.  Expenses  relating to
registrations  (other than selling expenses and  commissions)  will generally be
payable by the Registrant.

         The  Registrant  and the  Shareholder  also entered into an  Employment
Agreement  pursuant  to which  the  Shareholder  will  serve  as a  Senior  Vice
President of the Registrant and as President of the Merger Sub.

         The Company is a provider of printed  products  and  computer  supplies
primarily to the healthcare industry.

         The foregoing  descriptions of the Merger Agreement,  Pledge Agreement,
Registration  Rights  Agreement and Employment  Agreement,  and the transactions
contemplated  thereby,  do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their
entirety by  reference to each of such  agreements,  a copy of which is attached
hereto.
