The prospectus contained in the registration statement will serve as the consent statement for the solicitation of consents to the proposed transactions from stockholders of Triple-I. The transactions are expected to be completed promptly after receipt of consents from the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Triple-I common stock as of Nov. 6, 1995.

Each Triple-I stockholder will receive one share of A-Triple-I for each Triple-I share owned. Thus, stockholders of Triple-I other than Volt will own about 2.3 million shares of common stock, or 41 percent of A-Triple-I. Volt will hold about 3.4 million shares of A-Triple-I, or 59 percent.

Autologic Information International Inc.'s common stock is expected to trade on the National Market System of Nasdaq under the symbol "AIII" following the effective date of the merger.

Baseview's Mac-based CirculationPro has been upgraded to solve this problem by using algorithms which see anything less than 70 as a step into the future, not the past. Thus, when entering years that end in 00, 05 or 34, CirculationPro will assume the century is the 21st, not the 20th.

Other changes in CirculationPro version 1.93 include the Dispatcher, which automatically generates the Internal Revenue Service's Form 1099 for distribution to carriers, and helps to resolve customer complaints by printing a list of all unresolved complaints for quick action. The complaints and their outcome can be entered as text in the CirculationPro database and are immediately part of the customer's history.

Another new feature is the Virtual Scheduler, in CirculationPro's Preprint Handler module. Preprint Handler coordinates the insertion of all advertising pre-prints and now, with Virtual Scheduler, it can schedule ongoing inserts. For example, if a local grocer always runs an insert on Mondays in the same zone, one click on Virtual Scheduler will automatically guarantee the grocer's insert will be scheduled -- eliminating weekly reminder calls.

CirculationPro version 1.93 is already shipping; $3,495 buys all three modules in the package. Separately, Subscription Handler sells for $2,295; Distribution Handler sells for $1,995 and Preprint Handler sells for $495.

-- Troubleshooting is a digest of problem-solving information provided in ColorExpert 1.1 and each ColorCourse CD-ROM tutorial. A palette of problem pictures in Troubleshooting opens documents with possible solutions (Color Expert calls it "search-by-disaster").

-- The Daily Disaster invites visitors to the web site to recount tough problems they've experienced in digital color. ColorExpert will publish selected questions along with the submitter's or ColorExpert's conclusions about what went wrong and how it can be fixed --- or, better yet, avoided.

The ColorExpert site, optimized for Netscape 2.0, is http://www.colorexpert.com.

AOL will use NewsNET Manager's scripting capabilities to scan incoming stories by keyword, category or even story content, then pass them to the editorial staff fully formatted. The stories can then be edited using NewsNET Editor and sent on-line in less than a minute.

AOL also will use NewsNET to format tables of complex information, such as those issued by financial wire services like Standard and Poor's Comstock. NewsNET receives the financial data, strips control characters and line returns, and formats each table, ready for publishing on-line.

AOL Bertelsmann Online, which is opening regional offices in London, Paris and Berlin, plans to expand its use of NewsNET from Crosstree to integrate with other information services.

Advertisers would be able to transmit print ad files to Canadian newspapers equipped with MIJO/Digiflex hardware and software. Ad files would be received at newspapers, calibrated to the pre-press requirements of the newspaper, and in a form that can be imaged or interfaced with pagination systems currently in place.

Digiflex links newspapers and advertisers through high-speed telephone lines for data and image transmission. The Digiflex division has built a digital ad distribution network in the United States to which the MIJO network will have full access.

MIJO Corp., an 18-year-old privately held Canadian company, provides advertising, marketing and audio/visual services to U.S. & Canadian feature film distributors, advertisers, advertising agencies and broadcast/cable entities. In 1990, MIJO became the first company in Canada able to receive camera-ready print ads, which were transmitted by satellite to MIJO from Los Angeles and New York.

Colorize is used to color line art such as scanned illustrations, clip art, cartoons, logos, graphics and other bitmap TIFF images. Colorize treats each color as a separate flat color layer, reducing the file size and enabling the images to redraw faster for added productivity.

Colorize's method of coloring line art recognizes the borders on a black-and-white TIFF file and provides a special tool that paints right up to the border. Open lines do not have to be closed prior to painting. Colorize automatically traps colors as they are painted. Output for printing can be either process, spot colors or both. Images can be saved in EPS or TIFF format.

Colorize 2.0 requires a Macintosh with System 7. The software ships in fat binary mode and is fully optimized for the Power Mac. A Windows '95 version is scheduled for release in May.

SmartMove, which creates up to 10 hot folders for automatic batch processing of image files, has been combined with three software products -- Interchange, FBI and ScanXact -- so that image fingerprinting, compression, color and format conversion is now possible for larger pre-press production studios.

SmartMove's integration with FBI will produce a software application that has all the batch processing power of SmartMove, but with the added capabilities of writing and reading digital fingerprints onto and from the images being processed.

Combining SmartMove with ScanXact is the result of a new relationship between HighWater and ICG of Cheltenham, England. HighWater's batch processor has been combined with ICG's color conversion software.

These products can be seen on HighWater's booth #437 and on ICG's booth #3123. Upgrades for CH-Scan, Manager and Plotter software will also be available for review.

ASCII text of articles will be available for delivery to users' screens or e-mail accounts via the Internet. The DataTimes database on FirstSearch will be available by mid-1996.

The FirstSearch service is designed for people who use libraries, with a user interface that allows users to move easily through the on-line search process in a few steps, without training or on-line searching experience. With some 60 databases, FirstSearch is one of the fastest growing services in the library community.

OCLC Online Computer Library Center is a nonprofit computer library service and research organization whose computer network and services link more than 21,000 libraries in 63 countries and territories.

Queue Master gives Macintosh users controls for viewing, moving, holding, restarting, cancelling and resubmitting print jobs. Administrators can control which Macintosh users on the network can access queued jobs, besides their own.

FullPress 8.07 is fully compatible with EPS image files (Adobe Photoshop and Alias Eclipse) which will be cropped, scaled and plate-separated like other images, thus eliminating any performance advantage to using Desktop Color Separation (DCS) files instead of EPS files.

Other new FullPress features include:

-- Full support for Contex CT images.

-- For Placement Only (FPO) images are now rebuilt when options for generating FPOs are changed, so FPOs will correspond to the current settings.

-- Improvements to the algorithm that finds files that have been moved/renamed while users work with FPOs offsite.

-- Support for R8000 (64-bit) SGI machines.
