                                        RE:  Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by you
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March 25, 1997 (the
"Registration Statement") in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares (the
"Shares") of your Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1992 Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan").  As your legal counsel, we have examined the
proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken by
you in connection with the sale and issuance of the Shares pursuant to the
Plan.

    It is our opinion that, when issued and sold in the manner described in the
Plan and pursuant to the agreements which accompany each grant under the Plan,
the Shares will be legally and validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.

    We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.


                                        Very truly yours,


                                        WILSON, SONSINI, GOODRICH & ROSATI
