Published correction ran on January 5, 1995.
A story in Sunday's Business section incorrectly stated last year's

to account for a stock split in May. After adjusting for the split, the
company's stock rose from the equivalent of $10.83 a share at the end of
1994 to $16.62 1/2 at the end of 1995, a gain of 53.5 percent.
