      This Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D amends the
Schedule 13D initially filed on July 20, 1995
(collectively, with all amendments thereto, the
"Schedule 13D").

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

     Paragraph (b) of Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended 
and restated in its entirety as follows:  

     (b)  The address of  the principal business and principal

Maritime Plaza, Suite 1325, San Francisco, California  94111, 
and (ii) Offshore is Craigmuir Chambers, P.O. Box 71, Road 
Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration.

    Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by 
the following:

    The net investment cost (including commissions) is $330,886 
for the 16,914 Shares acquired by FCP since the filing of the 
prior Schedule 13D, $160,493 for the 8,200 Shares acquired by 
FCIP since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D, $27,370 for the 
1,400 Shares acquired by FCIP II since the filing of the prior 
Schedule 13D, $17,595 for the 900 Shares acquired by FCIP III 
since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D, $19,566 for the 1,000 
Shares acquired by Tinicum since the filing of the prior Schedule

     The consideration for such acquisitions was obtained as follows: 
(i) with respect to FCIP, FCIP II and FCIP III, from working capital;
