     Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies 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 
February 28, 1995 (the "Registration Statement") in connection 
with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended, of 1,000,000 shares of your Common Stock under the 1994 
Stock Option Plan.  Such shares of Common Stock are referred to 
herein as the "Shares," and such plan is referred to herein as the 
"Plan."  As your counsel in connection with this transaction, we
have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar with the 
proceedings proposed to be taken by you in connection with the 
issuance and sale 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
