Item 5.  Other Events.

     On June 17, 1996, Shiva Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (the
"Registrant"), acquired AirSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AirSoft"),
by virtue of the merger of SV Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Sub") with and into AirSoft,
whereby AirSoft became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant.  In 
payment of the purchase price for this acquisition, the Registrant issued to
the stockholders of AirSoft a total of 760,743 shares of its common stock (of
which 69,158 shares were placed in escrow to secure indemnification obligations
of the AirSoft stockholders).  This acquisition was effected pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Registrant, Sub and AirSoft,
dated June 16, 1996, the terms of which were determined through arms' length
negotiations among the parties.
