I am interested in investing some money into a relatively new computer company. A Columbus paper had an article lifted from some stock market magazine that recommeded a company called Denelcor. Supposedly, this company introduced a "revolutionary" digital supercomputer for high-speed large scale computing. It hit a high in the mid-twenties but is now residing around 7 and 1/2. Does anyone know anything about this company? Where it is located? Had any contacts with it? Worked for it? ANYTHING? (It is listed OTC.) If you can be of any aid, please send me mail at cbosgd!nscs!gdt. A second stock that is catching my eye is a company called US Surgical Corporation. It is listed on the NASDAQ and is residing at 21 and 1/2. They manufacture modern surgical equipment, including surgical stapling units. Their products have been highly regarded by medical students, but have had a hard time being accepted in practice. Older surgeons stick with old methods I guess. However, once more and more of these young surgeons get out into the profession (and can dictate hospital policy) US Surgical's products could really take off. Does anyone have any thoughts and/or experiences they would be willing to share? Oh well. Sorry for the ramblings. Thurman Columbus, OhighO

Denelcor announced the computer, called the HEP, about six months or so ago. Denelcor is located in Denver, CO. Some of the details of their machine can be found in a back issue of "Electronics." Basically, it's a large scientific/floating point machine that relies on MIMD coding of numerical algorithms to attain the peak performance of the processor. Craig Hansen HP Labs
