ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

     On June 22, 1995, Adobe Systems Incorporated (the "Company") entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger
Agreement") by and among the Company, J Acquisition Corporation, a California
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), and
Frame Technology Corporation, a California corporation ("Frame"), pursuant to
which Merger Agreement the Merger Sub will be merged (the "Merger") with and
into Frame.

     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (including,
without limitation, approval by the shareholders of Frame) upon the effective
time of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Frame (other
than shares held in the treasury of Frame, owned by the Registrant or Merger
Sub or held by persons who exercise their dissenters' rights under California
Law) will be cancelled and extinguished and be converted automatically into
the right to receive 0.52 shares of common stock of the Registrant.  As a
result of the Merger, Frame will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Registrant.

     The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit
2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
