Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

     On May 30, 2002, divine, inc., a Delaware corporation ("divine"), and
Delano Technology Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of Ontario ("Delano"), entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the
Combination Agreement ("Combination Agreement") between divine and Delano, dated
March 12, 2002, to change the date after which a non-breaching party can
terminate the Combination Agreement (the "Termination Date") from June 30, 2002
to August 15, 2002 and to change from July 31, 2002 to September 16, 2002 the
date to which the Termination Date will be automatically extended, if the
failure to obtain any necessary governmental consent is the cause of, or results
in, the parties' failure to close the combination by the Termination Date. A
copy of the Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit
2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

     On May 30, 2002, divine and Delano also issued a joint press release
announcing that the closing of the combination is now scheduled to occur on July
31, 2002. A copy of the press release is annexed hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
