2. We note that with respect to the Company`s asset sale, you
entered
into a four year non-compete agreement with Global Software.
According to your Schedule 14A, the Company allocated

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and

provide,
in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:
* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the

proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
In addition, please be advised that the Division of
