See the definition of "person" in paragraph (a) of Rule 144. Information is to
be given not only as to the person for whose account the securities are to be
sold but also as to all other persons included in that definition. In addition,
information shall be given as to sales by all persons whose sales are required

The person for whose account the securities to which this notice relates are to

                    REMARKS TO AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO FORM 144
                                 FILED 1/31/97

     This Amendment No. 1 to Form 144 filed 1/31/97 increases the number of 
shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold from 156,500 to 250,000.  Upon 
completion of the sale of these securities Mr. Gupta will no longer consider 
himself an Affiliate of the Issuer since he will no longer own more than 10% of 
the outstanding shares of the Issuer.  Mr. Gupta's intention to sell the 
securities listed above may be affected by a number of factors, including market
conditions.  As stated in the Issuer's S-4 Registration Statement filed with the
Commission on January 27, 1997, the sale of shares of the Issuer by affiliates 
such as Mr. Gupta, may affect the accounting treatment of the Issuer's pending 
transaction with InfoSpinner.  This, in turn, may affect the timing of the 
transaction, or its ultimate consummation.
