ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

On October 15, 1998, the Registrant filed a request with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") seeking confirmation from the Staff 
that it would not recommend any enforcement action to the Commission if, in 
lieu of filing the quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, 
respectively, that the Registrant would otherwise be required to file while 
it is in reorganization proceedings pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy 
Code, the Registrant implements modified reporting procedures.  Such modified 
reporting procedures consist of filing each of the Registrant's Monthly 
Operating Reports under cover of Form 8-K within 15 days after such Monthly 
Operating Report is due to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and U.S. 
Trustee's Office.  The Commission has not yet issued its decision on the 
Registrant's request; however, pending such decision, the Registrant is 
implementing the proposed modified reporting procedures.  Accordingly, the 
Registrant's Monthly Operating Report, presenting certain financial 
information of the Registrant and its subsidiaries for the period ended March 
26, 1999,  is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by 
reference.  The attached Monthly Operating Report was filed with the 
Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Trustee's Office on April 20, 1999.
