                    SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 26, 2002

                                 PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

                                    1,106,861 Shares
                                           of
                             Merge Technologies Incorporated

                                      Common Stock
                                    ($0.01 par value)

	-- This paragraph is along left margin of this page 3 - -
The information in the prospectus is not complete and may be changed.  We may
not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission is effective.  This prospectus is not an
offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these
securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

	This Prospectus relates to the public offering of up to 1,106,861
shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value (the 'Shares'), of Merge Technologies
Incorporated ('us,' 'our,' 'we' or 'Company'), all of which Shares may be sold
from time to time by the selling shareholders described herein or their
assignees and transferees (the 'Selling Shareholders').

	In May 2002, we purchased the assets of Aurora Technology Inc.
('Aurora') through one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.  In connection with
this transaction, we issued 93,901 unregistered Shares to Aurora.  We are
obligated to register such Shares on behalf of those holders.

	In addition, in June 2002, we, Merge Technologies Holdings Co.
('Holdings') and eFilm Medical Inc., a Canadian corporation ('eFilm'),
completed transactions pursuant to a Reorganization Agreement which resulted in
Holdings owning 100% of the voting equity securities of eFilm.  At the same
time as it entered into the Reorganization Agreement, eFilm issued certain
non-voting equity exchangeable eFilm shares (the 'Exchangeable Shares') to the
old eFilm shareholders.  The Exchangeable Shares allow eFilm shareholders to
exchange their Exchangeable Shares for 1,000,000 of our Shares.  We are
obligated to register such Shares on behalf of those holders.  For a
description of the conversion provisions of the Exchangeable Shares, see
'Issuance of Common Stock Upon Exchange of Exchangeable Shares.'

	Also, during 2002, we also issued 6,076 Shares to holders of our Series
A Preferred Stock (the 'Series A Preferred') in the form of dividends on the
Series A Preferred and 6,884 Shares to certain of our directors for services.
We are registering such Shares on behalf of those holders.

	The Shares trade on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol 'MRGE.'
On September 24, 2002, the last reported bid price was $3.85 for the Shares.

	The Selling Shareholders and certain persons who purchase the Shares
from the Selling Shareholders may be deemed 'Underwriters,' as that term is
defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act').  The
Shares may be offered by the Selling Shareholders in one or more transactions
on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or in negotiated transactions or a combination
of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.  The
Shares may be sold by the Selling Shareholders either (i) to a broker or dealer
as principal for resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to
this Prospectus (e.g., in transactions with a 'market maker') or (ii) in
brokerage transactions, including transactions in which the broker solicits
purchasers.

	We will pay substantially all other expenses of this offering
(including the expense of preparing and duplicating this Prospectus and the
Registration Statement of which it is a part).

	These are speculative securities.  You should purchase these
securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment.

			 DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
	               ---------------------------------------

	We are incorporating in this Prospectus by reference the following
documents which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(hereinafter referred to as the 'Commission'):

	1.	Our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, for fiscal year
		ended December 31, 2001.

	2.	Our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended
		March 31 and June 30, 2002.

	3.	Our Proxy Statement dated April 15, 2002, for our 2002 Annual
		Meeting of Shareholders.

	4.	Our Reports on Form 8-K dated May 22, 2002, as amended, and
		June 28, 2002, as amended.

	5.	Our Form 8-A dated January 9, 1998.

	All documents which we file subsequently to the foregoing pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Act, prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities registered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and
to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

	Any statements contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes of this Prospectus to the extent that a statement contained herein
or in any subsequently filed document which is also deemed to be incorporated
by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statements.  Any such statement
so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute part of this Prospectus.

	THIS PROSPECTUS INCORPORATES DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE WHICH ARE NOT
PRESENTED HEREIN OR DELIVERED HEREWITH.  THESE DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN EXHIBITS
THERETO) ARE AVAILABLE WITHOUT CHARGE, UPON WRITTEN OR ORAL REQUEST BY ANY
PERSON TO WHOM THIS PROSPECTUS HAS BEEN DELIVERED, FROM US.  REQUESTS TO OBTAIN
SUCH DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO US, AT 1126 SOUTH 70TH STREET, SUITE 107B,
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN 53214-3151 (TELEPHONE: (414) 977-4000).

	Some of the statements included in this Prospectus may be considered
to be 'forward looking statements' since such statements relate to matters
which have not yet occurred.  For example, phrases such as 'we anticipate,'
'believe' or 'expect' indicate that it is possible that the event anticipated,
believed or expected may not occur.  Should such event not occur, then the
result which we expected also may not occur or occur in a different manner,
which may be more or less favorable to us.  We do not undertake any obligation
to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward looking
statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances.

	Readers should carefully review the items included under the
subsection Risk Factors, as they relate to forward looking statements, as
actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward
looking statement.


				     RISK FACTORS
				    --------------

	This offering involves a high degree of risk.  Prospective investors
should consider carefully, among other things, the following risk factors with
respect to us and this offering.

LACK OF CONSISTENT PROFITABILITY; HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES

	We incurred net losses of $1,919,970 in fiscal 1998, $2,898,821 in
fiscal 1999 and $5,707,394 in fiscal 2000, respectively.  We earned net income
of $1,270,758 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $1,304,120 for the six
(6) months ended June 30, 2002.  There can be no assurance that we will
continue profitability in the future.





OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE

	Our operating results are subject to quarterly and other fluctuations
due to a variety of factors.  A significant portion of our business is derived
from orders placed by original equipment manufacturers ('OEMs') and direct
sales to healthcare customers.  The timing of such orders could cause material
fluctuations in our business and operating results.  Additionally, healthcare
capital spending and budgetary cycles could cause material fluctuations in our
direct sales from quarter to quarter.   Other factors that may cause our
operating results to fluctuate include changes in sales volumes through our
distribution channels, changes in the mix of products sold, the timing of new
product announcements and introductions by us and our competitors, market
acceptance of new or enhanced versions of our products, availability and cost
of products from our suppliers, competitive pricing pressures, the gain or loss
of significant customers, increased research and development expense associated
with new product introductions and economic conditions generally or in various
geographic areas.  All of the above factors are difficult for us to forecast,
and these or other factors can materially affect our operating results for one
quarter or series of quarters.  In addition, our gross margins may decrease in
the future as a result of increasing sales of lower margin products or services
and volume discounts.  We expect to continue to increase our operating expenses
for personnel, marketing and new product development.  If we do not achieve
increased levels of sales commensurate with these increased levels of operating
expenses, our business and operating results will be materially adversely
affected.  There can be no assurance that we will be profitable on a quarterly
or annual basis.  Fluctuations in operating results may also result in
fluctuations in the price of our common stock.

INCREASED CREDIT AND PAYMENT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH END-USER SALES

	We currently market and sell a significant portion of our products to
OEMs and value added resellers ('VARs').  We have not, in the past, experienced
significant nonpayment or delays in payment on receivables from these
customers.  Increased direct sales to end-users, such as hospitals, may create
delays in payment of receivables to us and may also increase the risk of
nonpayment of receivables.  We may bear increased interest expense if we
experience delays in receipt of payment on receivables as a result of
increased sales directly to end-users as a percentage of total sales.

WE MUST RESPOND TO TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; RISKS OF OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH RAPIDLY
DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY

	The markets for our products are characterized by rapid technological
advances and changes in customer requirements and evolving regulatory
requirements and industry standards.  Our future prospects will depend, in
part, on our ability to enhance our medical image networking and information
management products in a timely manner and to identify, develop and achieve
market acceptance of new products that address new technologies and standards
and meet customer needs in the medical imaging network and information
management markets.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to respond
to technological advances, changes in customer requirements or changes in
regulatory requirements or industry standards or that we will be able to
develop and market new products successfully.  Any failure by us to anticipate
or to respond adequately to technological developments in our industry, changes
in customer requirements, changes in regulatory requirements or industry
standards, or any significant delays in the development, introduction or
shipment of products, could have a material adverse effect on our business and
operating results.  In anticipation of new product introductions by us or our
competitors, customers could refrain from purchasing our existing products.
New products could render certain of our existing products obsolete.  Any of
these events could materially adversely affect our business and operating
results.  In addition, third-party payers, such as governmental programs and
private insurance plans, can indirectly affect the pricing or relative
attractiveness of our products by regulating the maximum amount of
reimbursement that they will provide for taking, storing and interpreting
medical images.  A decrease in the reimbursement amounts for radiological
procedures may decrease the amount which physicians, clinics and hospitals
are able to charge patients for such services.  As a result, adoption of new
technologies may slow as capital investment budgets are reduced, thereby
significantly reducing the demand for our products.





WE DEPEND ON MAJOR OEM/VAR CUSTOMERS

	We currently sell a material portion of our products to a relatively
limited number of OEMs, VARs and dealers.  Aggregate sales to our ten largest
customers represented approximately 70%, 71%, 65%, 60% and 59% of our net
sales in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and six (6) months ended June 30, 2002,
respectively.  During 1998, Marconi and Konica accounted for approximately
18% each of our net sales.  During 1999, Marconi accounted for 17% of our net
sales and Konica, Philips and Fuji accounted for approximately 11% each of our
net sales.  During 2000, Fuji accounted for 14% of our net sales and Philips
and Marconi each accounted for approximately 12% of our net sales.  During
2001, Philips accounted for 16%, GE accounted for 13%, and Fuji accounted for
10% of our net sales.  For the six (6) months ended June 30, 2002 Philips
accounted for 22% of our net sales.  There can be no assurance that our current
customers will continue to place orders with us or that we will be able to
obtain orders from new customers.  The loss of any one or more of our major
customers could materially adversely affect our business and operating results.
None of our customers are subject to any minimum purchase requirements, and
many of our VAR and OEM customers offer competitive systems manufactured by
third parties.  Each of our VAR and OEM customers and dealers can cease
marketing products at their respective option, and the loss of one or more
significant customers could materially adversely affect our business and
operating results.

INABILITY TO EXPAND INTERNATIONAL SALES EFFORTS

	An important component of our business plan includes increasing our
sales to customers outside the United States of America, which represented
36% of our net sales in fiscal 2001 and 41% of our net sales for the six (6)
months ended June 30, 2002.  In order to increase overseas sales, it may be
necessary or desirable for us to expand our sales force or establish additional
offices outside the United States of America.  The increased costs of hiring
new personnel or establishing offices could have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations and financial condition.

DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL

	Our continued success will depend to a significant degree upon the
efforts and abilities of our senior management, in particular, Richard A.
Linden, our President and Chief Executive Officer, William  C. Mortimore, our
founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Gregory G. Couch, Vice President and
Chief Technology Officer, William L. Stafford, Vice President of OEM/VAR
Sales, Joseph R. Gentile, Vice President of Direct Sales, Catherine M.
McCallum, Vice President of Professional Services, Beth Frost-Johnson, Vice
President, Marketing, David M. Noshay, Vice President, Business Development,
Anton van Kimmenade, Vice President Service, Director European Branch, and
Scott T. Veech, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer.  Of these
key personnel, Mr. Linden, Mr. Mortimore, Mr. Couch, Ms. McCallum,  Mr. van
Kimmenade and Mr. Veech have employment agreements with us.

	We carry key man life insurance in the amount of $2,000,000 on
Richard A. Linden and $2,000,000 on William C. Mortimore.  In addition,
eFilm carried key man life insurance that is still in effect as of the date of
this prospectus, in the amount of  $1,600,000 on Gregory G. Couch, $600,000 on
Catherine M. McCallum, and $1,300,000 on Patrice M. Bret. We do not carry key
man life insurance on any other of our officers or directors.  The loss of the
services of any of these officers could have a material adverse effect on us.

POTENTIAL DIFFICULTY IN HIRING ADDITIONAL SALES AND ENGINEERING PERSONNEL

	Our ability to carry out our business plan depends in part upon our
ability to hire and retain skilled sales and marketing professionals and
engineering specialists.  Although we believe we will be able to hire
qualified personnel for such purposes, our inability to do so could materially
adversely affect our ability to market, sell and enhance our product lines.
The market for qualified experienced sales and marketing professionals and
engineering specialists has historically been, and we expect that we will
continue to be, intensely competitive.  The inability to recruit and retain
qualified employees could materially adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition.





INABILITY TO PROTECT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

	We have received U. S. Patent No. 5,740,428 dated April 14, 1998, U. S.
Patent No. 5,950,207 dated September 7, 1999, New Zealand Patent No. 306009
dated February 7, 1996, and Australia Patent No. 704804 dated August 12, 1999,
for one aspect of our Workflow technology.  A U. S. patent has been applied for
Distributed Architecture for Health Care Environment, Patent Application No.
09/151902 underlying our MergeWeb Workflow technology.  We have also applied
for additional foreign patents; however, we generally do not rely solely on
patent protection with respect to our products.  Instead, we rely on a
combination of copyright and trade secret laws, employee and third party
confidentiality agreements and other measures to protect intellectual property
rights pertaining to our systems and technology.  There can be no assurance,
however, that applicable copyright or trade secret laws or these agreements
will provide meaningful protection of our copyrights, trade secrets, know-how
or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use,
misappropriation or disclosure of such copyrights, trade secrets, know-how or
other proprietary information.  In addition, the laws of certain foreign
countries do not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent
as do the laws of the United States of America.  There can be no assurance
that third parties will not assert patent, copyright or other intellectual
property infringement claims against us with respect to our products or
technology or other matters.  Any such claims against us, with or without
merit, as well as claims initiated by us against third parties, can be
time-consuming and expensive to defend or prosecute and resolve.  To date,
we have not initiated any intellectual property infringement claims and no
such claims have been asserted against us.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

	The manufacturing and marketing of our products are subject to
government regulation as medical devices in the United States of America by
the United States Food and Drug Administration (the 'FDA') and in other
countries by corresponding foreign regulatory authorities.  The process of
obtaining and maintaining required regulatory clearances and approvals is
lengthy, expensive and uncertain.  We believe that our success depends upon
commercial sales of improved versions of our products, certain of which
cannot be marketed in the United States of America and other regulated markets
unless and until we obtain clearance or approval from the FDA and its foreign
counterparts.  Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could
result, among other things, in warning letters, seizures of our products,
total or partial suspension of our production operations, refusal of the
government to grant market clearance or pre-market approval, withdrawal of
approvals or criminal prosecution.

	We are also subject to other federal, state and local laws and
regulations relating to safe working conditions and manufacturing practices.
In addition, sales of our products outside the United States of America are
subject to various foreign regulatory requirements.  The extent of government
regulation that might result from any future legislation or administrative
action cannot be predicted.  Failure to comply with domestic regulatory
requirements or to obtain any necessary foreign certifications or regulatory
approvals, or any other failure to comply with regulatory requirements outside
the United States of America could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

PRODUCT LIABILITY; RISK OF PRODUCT DEFECTS

	We have licensing agreements with certain of our customers which
typically contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential
product liability claims.  However, it is possible that the limitation of
liability provisions contained in our license agreements may not be effective
under the laws of certain jurisdictions.  Furthermore, although we try to
include provisions limiting our exposure to product liability in our sales
agreements, we are not always successful in doing so.  Moreover, some of our
products are sold without agreements addressing product liability claims at
all.  Although we have not experienced any product liability claims to date,
the sale and support of products by us may entail the risk of such claims, and
there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to such claims in the
future.  Although we have procured product liability insurance, there can be
no assurance that we will continue to obtain such insurance on favorable terms
or that such insurance will be sufficient to fully protect us against a
successful product liability claim.  A successful product liability claim
brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, and financial condition.  Software products such as
those offered by us occasionally contain errors or failures, especially when
first introduced or when new versions are released.  Although we conduct





extensive product testing, we could in the future lose or delay recognition
of revenues as a result of software errors or defects, the failure of our
products to meet customer specifications or otherwise.  Although, to date,
our business has not been materially adversely affected by any such errors,
defects or failure to meet specifications, there can be no assurance that
defects will not be found in new products or releases after commencement of
commercial shipments or that such products will meet customer specifications,
resulting in loss or deferral of revenues, diversion of resources, damage to
our reputation, or increased service and warranty and other costs, any of
which could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating
results and financial condition.

MARKETS FOR OUR PRODUCTS ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE

	The markets for our products are highly competitive.

	Imaging acquisition and connectivity products.  We have several
competitors in the imaging acquisition and connectivity products business.
These products are sold primarily to our OEM and VAR customers who could
decide to build these capabilities internally or source these products from
one of our competitors.

	-  In the DICOM software development tool business, we primarily
compete directly and indirectly with a number of other entities, including
private companies like LeadTools and the Radiological Society of North America
('RSNA'), which offers a version of DICOM (originally developed by
Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology) as 'freeware' available to be downloaded
without charge from the Internet, but which offers more limited features and
no user support.

	-  We also face competition from picture archiving and communication
systems ('PACS') manufacturers that have developed some of these tools
internally and make them available to their customers with the purchase of a
complete PACS solution.

	-  We face competition from two sources concerning our connectivity
products.  First, as legacy x-ray devices and specialty modalities like CTs
and MRs are replaced with newer models the need for our connectivity products
decreases because connectivity features are built into the new modalities.
Secondly, several small specialty companies provide similar connectivity
products to the OEMs and VARs.  We anticipate competing successfully against
these companies based on our quality, feature set, and service reputation,
but there is no assurance that we will be successful in maintaining our
current run rate for this business line.

	Completed PACS workflow solution sales.  Our growing end-user PACS
workflow solution sales may put us more directly in competition with some of
existing VAR customers who resell to end-users our component products as
part of their own complete PACS solution.

	Many of our current and potential PACS workflow competitors have
greater resources than we have in areas including finance, research and
development, intellectual property and marketing.  Many of these competitors
also have broader product lines and longer standing relationships with
customers in the medical imaging field than those we have.

	We believe that our ability to compete successfully depends on a
number of factors both within and outside of our control, including:

	-	product innovation;
	-	product quality and performance;

		and other medical communication standards; and

There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with
existing or new competitors.

ADDITIONAL FUNDING MAY BE NECESSARY

	We believe that existing cash, together with the availability under
our working capital line of credit and future cash flows from operations,
will be sufficient to execute our business plan during the next twelve (12)
months.  However, any projections of future cash inflows and outflows are
subject to substantial uncertainty.  It may be necessary to raise additional
capital to meet long-term liquidity needs.  If it is determined that
additional capital is needed, it will be raised by selling additional
equity or raising debt from third party sources.  The sale of additional
equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to current
stockholders.  In addition, debt financing, if available, could involve
restrictive covenants, which could adversely affect operations.  There can
be no assurance that any of these financing alternatives, including raising
additional capital, will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to
us.  If we are unable to raise any needed additional capital, we could be
required to significantly alter our operating plan, which could have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of
operations.

ADDITIONAL ACQUISITIONS MAY BE DILUTIVE

	We may make additional acquisitions of businesses which we believe
are complementary to our business.  We may make payment for such acquisitions
by issuing shares of our common or Preferred Stock or by payment in cash.  If
we choose to make payment in the form of shares of our common or Preferred
Stock, our existing shareholders may experience a dilution in their ownership
interest in us.  If we elect to make payment in the form of cash, we would
have to determine whether we will use available cash or obtain additional cash
from traditional bank financing, sources other than banks or the proceeds of
the sale of our common or Preferred Stock.  While using debt to finance
acquisitions may provide greater financial returns, it also brings with it
greater risk.  Should there be a downturn in the business of the target (due
to numerous factors which could include normal downturns in the business
cycle, the departure of key employees or key accounts, inability to integrate
the target's operations into our operations, etc.), we may risk loss of our
investment.  Lenders and/or equity partners also may impose restrictions upon
the manner in which we conduct our business.

INABILITY TO INTEGRATE NEW ACQUISITIONS

	If we should acquire additional businesses, we face the risk that we
may not be able to integrate such acquisitions, including the acquisitions of
eFilm and Aurora, successfully with our business.  Should we be unable to
integrate successfully any new business, we would be required either to
dispose of such acquisition or attempt to change the operations of such
acquisition so that it will integrate with our business.  In either event, our
business operations could be materially adversely affected.

NO PROCEEDS TO US FROM SALE OF SHARES BY SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

	We will not receive any of the proceeds from sale of Shares by any of
the Selling Shareholders.

NO INTENTION TO DECLARE OR PAY DIVIDENDS

	We do not currently intend to declare or pay any cash dividend on
common stock in the foreseeable future and we anticipate that earnings, if
any, will be used to finance the development and expansion of our business.
Any payment of future dividends and the amounts thereof will be dependent upon
our earnings, financial requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our
Board of Directors, including our contractual obligations.

POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT OF PREFERRED STOCK ON RIGHTS OF COMMON STOCK

	Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 'blank check'
Preferred Stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be
determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.  Accordingly, our
Board of Directors will have the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges





of those shares without any further vote or action by the shareholders. As of
the date of this Prospectus, one share of Preferred Stock has been issued in
connection with one voting trust established for the benefit of holders of
Interpra Exchangeable Shares, 269,138 of which are outstanding, and no shares
of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding.  We also have issued one share
of Series 2 Special Voting Preferred Stock in connection with anther voting
trust established for the benefit of holders of eFilm Exchangeable Shares,
1,000,000 of which are outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus.   The
rights of the holders of common stock presently may be materially adversely
affected by, the rights of the holders of any additional Preferred Stock that
may be issued in the future.  The issuance of Preferred Stock, while
providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and
other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult
for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting stock.

ANTITAKEOVER MEASURES

	Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, along with Wisconsin
statutory law, contain provisions that could discourage potential acquisition
proposals and might delay or prevent a change in control of us.  Such provisions
could result in us being less attractive to a potential acquirer and could
result in the shareholders receiving less for their Shares than otherwise
might be available in the event of a takeover attempt.


		   		    THE COMPANY
				   -------------

	The Corporation is in the business of integrating radiology images
and information into healthcare enterprise networks.  Our products and services
enhance the quality of healthcare provided to patients because they improve
radiology workflow efficiencies, reduce healthcare operating costs and improve
clinical decision making processes.  We deliver this tangible value to
facilities of all sizes, but we specifically target small to medium size
healthcare facilities, multi-hospital groups, clinics and diagnostic imaging
centers by working with our customers to offer unique, phased, cost effective
solutions to solve their image and information management and radiology
workflow needs.

	We were founded in 1987.  We have historically been viewed as a
leading provider of medical diagnostic imaging and information connectivity
technologies and consulting solutions for healthcare facilities worldwide.
Today, we are at the forefront of integrated radiology workflow research and
development bringing software applications to the marketplace that will enable
the seamless integration of images, information, technology and people across
the electronic healthcare enterprise.

	Through our founder and Chairman, William C. Mortimore, we believe
that we have been a key contributor to the development of the industry's
standard network communications protocol known as Digital Imaging
Communications in Medicine ('DICOM'), open medical standards like HL-7 and
the Integrated Healthcare Enterprise ('IHE') framework that has been created
through an initiative co-sponsored by the Radiological Society of North
America ('RSNA') and the Healthcare Information and Management Systems
Society ('HIMSS').  The IHE initiative represents a consortium of more than
thirty companies in the Radiology and Healthcare Information Systems fields.
This set of requirements has paved the way for healthcare organizations to
begin in earnest to integrate the complex workflow systems of the
radiology department with the entire healthcare system by using equipment
and software applications that connect the various image and communication
components.  We have incorporated these standards in all of our connectivity
solutions and software applications establishing the basis for seamless
integration of images and healthcare information across an organization's
intranet or over the Internet.

	Radiology departments and diagnostic imaging centers and their
customers benefit from our solutions in a variety of ways including:  (i)
networking of multiple image-producing and image-using devices to eliminate
duplication and reduce the need for capital equipment expenditures to build
digital image and information networks; (ii) creating permanent electronic
archives of diagnostic-quality images to enable the retrieval of these
images and reports at any time in the future; (iii) accessing our modular
architecture of products that allow radiology departments, clinics and
diagnostic imaging centers to build their electronic image and information
management systems in a phased, flexible and cost-effective way; and (iv)
delivering the capability to integrate diagnostic radiology images into the
radiologist's report to make it a permanent part of the patient's
electronic medical record.





	We are a Wisconsin corporation and were incorporated on November 25,
1987.  Our executive offices are located at 1126 South 70th Street, Suite
S107B, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53214-3151.  Our telephone number is
(414) 977-4000, and our Internet address is www.merge.com.


				 USE OF PROCEEDS
				-----------------

	Since we will issue up to 1,000,000 Shares in exchange for the
Exchangeable Shares, and the remaining 106,861 Shares which may be sold by
the Selling Shareholders have already been issued, we will not receive any
cash proceeds from the sale of any of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders.

	  ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK UPON EXCHANGE OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES

	We, Holdings and eFilm entered into a Reorganization Agreement and,
among other documents, a Share Exchange Agreement, which resulted in the us
owning 100% of Holdings, and Holdings owning 100% of the voting equity
securities of eFilm.  At the same time as it entered into the Reorganization
Agreement, eFilm issued the Exchangeable Shares to the former eFilm
shareholders.  The Exchangeable Shares allow former eFilm shareholders to
exchange each Exchangeable Share for one share of our common stock.

	Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, each holder of
Exchangeable Shares is entitled at any time through and including June 28,
2007, to require the us to exchange any or all of the Exchangeable Shares for
shares of common stock of the Company, plus (a) cash in the amount of any cash
dividends declared but not paid, and (b) delivery of any non-cash dividends
declared but not paid. In the event that the Company is liquidated, each
Exchangeable Share shall be exchanged automatically for Shares.

	On June 28, 2007, each Exchangeable Share shall automatically be
exchanged for Shares.  We have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase
all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for an amount per share equal
to the current market price of the Shares plus declared and unpaid dividends.

	To effect an exchange of any Exchangeable Shares, a holder shall
present and surrender certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares to
eFilm at its offices located at 500 University Avenue, Suite 300, Toronto,
Ontario L6J 1M5.  In addition, the holder shall deliver to eFilm a signed
Notice of Retraction, together with a signed and witnessed Power of Attorney
to Transfer Securities and Representations and Warranties.  Upon receipt of all
necessary documents, eFilm shall immediately notify the Company at its offices
located at 1126 South 70th Street, Suite 107B, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53214-3151.
The Company shall issue to the holder certificates representing Shares and pay
any declared but unpaid dividends, whether in cash or non-cash.

		Shares.


	Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Exchange
Act'), and the regulations thereunder, any person engaged in a distribution of
the Shares offered by this Prospectus may not simultaneously engage in
market-making activities with respect to the Shares during the applicable
'cooling off' period prior to the commencement of such distribution.  In
addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling Shareholders will be
subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation
M under the Securities Act, in connection with transactions in the Shares,
which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of Shares.





                        CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS
		       ----------------------------------------

	The following Selling Shareholders are directors:  Robert T. Geras;
Dr. Patrice M. Bret; Robert A. Barish; Michael D. Dunham; Anna M. Hajek; and
Dr. John D. Halamka.  Mitchell D. Goldsmith is a member of the firm of Shefsky
& Froelich Ltd. which has provided legal services to us for over five (5)
years.


				 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
				----------------------

	This Prospectus, as appropriately amended or supplemented, may be used
from time to time by the Selling Shareholders, or their transferees, to offer
and sell the Shares in transactions in which the Selling Shareholders and any
broker-dealer through whom any of the Shares are sold may be deemed to be
underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act.  We will not receive
any of the proceeds from any such sales.  There presently are no arrangements
or understandings, formal or informal, pertaining to the distribution of the
Shares.

	We anticipate that resales of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders
will be effected from time to time on the open market in ordinary brokerage
transactions in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ('Nasdaq Small Cap'), on which
the Shares are included for quotation, in the over-the-counter market, or in
private transactions.  The Shares will be offered for sale at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices and on terms to be
determined when the agreement to sell is made or at the time of sale, as the
case may be.  The Shares may be offered directly by the Selling Shareholders
or through brokers or dealers.  A member firm of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ('NASD') may be engaged to act as the Selling
Shareholders' agent in the sale of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders
and/or may acquire Shares as principal.  Member firms participating in such
transactions as agent may receive commissions from the Selling Shareholders
(and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such Shares, from such
purchaser), such commissions computed, in appropriate cases, in accordance
with the applicable rates of the NASD, which commissions may be negotiated
rates where permissible.  Sales of the Shares by the member firm may be made
on the Nasdaq SmallCap from time to time at prices related to prices then
prevailing.

	Participating broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholders
to sell the specified number of Shares at a stipulated price per Share and,
to the extent such broker dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the
Selling Shareholders, to purchase as principal any unsold Shares at the price
required to fulfill the broker-dealer's commitment to the Selling Shareholders.
Broker-dealers who acquire Shares as principal may thereafter resell such
Shares from time to time in transactions on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, in
negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the
time of sale or at negotiated prices.

	Upon the Selling Shareholders notifying us that a particular offer to
sell the Shares is made and a material arrangement has been entered into with
a broker-dealer for the sale of Shares, a supplement to this Prospectus will
be delivered together with this Prospectus and filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the Securities Act setting forth with respect to such offer or trade the
terms of the offer or trade, including: (i) the number of Shares involved;
(ii) the price at which the Shares were sold; (iii) any participating brokers,
dealers, agents or member firm involved; (iv) any discounts, commissions and
other items paid as compensation from, and the resulting net proceeds to, the
Selling Shareholders; and (v) other facts material to the transaction.

	Shares may be sold directly by the Selling Shareholders or through
agents designated by the Selling Shareholders from time to time.  Unless
otherwise indicated in the supplement to this Prospectus, any such agent will
be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

	The Selling Shareholders and any brokers, dealers, agents, member
firm or others that participate with the Selling Shareholders in the
distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be 'underwriters' within the
meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions or fees received by such
persons and any profit on the resale of the Shares purchased by such person
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the
Securities Act.





	The Selling Shareholders will be subject to the applicable provisions
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M under the Securities
Act, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of
the Shares by the Selling Shareholders.  All of the foregoing may affect the
marketability of the Shares.

	We will pay substantially all the expenses incident to this offering
of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders to the public other than brokerage
fees, commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents.

	In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable,
the Shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, in certain states the Shares may not
be sold unless the Shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such
state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and us
or the Selling Shareholders comply with the applicable requirements.


			    DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
			   ---------------------------

	Our authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share, of which we have designated 1,000,000 shares as Series A
Preferred Stock and one share of Series 2 Special Voting Preferred Stock.  As
of the date of this Prospectus, there were ____________ shares of common
stock, one share of Preferred Stock, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
and one share of Series 2 Special Voting Preferred Stock outstanding.

	The following description of our capital stock is a summary and is
qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation
(the 'Articles') and Bylaws, copies of which are available for review upon
request.


Common Stock
-------------

	Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each
matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.  The common stock
does not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of a
majority of voting Shares voting for the election of directors can elect all
of the members of the Board of Directors.  The common stock has no preemptive
rights and no redemption or conversion privileges.  Subject to any preferences
of any outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of the outstanding shares of
common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available
at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors may, from time to
time, determine, and upon liquidation and dissolution are entitled to receive
all assets available for distribution to the stockholders.  A majority vote of
Shares represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient for
most actions that require the vote of stockholders.  All of the outstanding
shares of the common stock are fully-paid and non-assessable.  (See 'Certain
Statutory and Other Provisions.')


Preferred Stock
----------------

	Our Board of Directors may, without further action by our stockholders,
from time to time, issue shares of Preferred Stock in series and may, at the
time of issuance, determine the rights, preferences and limitations of each
series.  Any dividend preference of any Preferred Stock which may be issued
would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on
common stock.  Also, holders of Preferred Stock would normally be entitled to
receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or
winding-up of us before any payment is made to the holders of common stock.
Under certain circumstances, the issuance of such Preferred Stock may render
more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, the
assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the
removal of incumbent management.  Although we presently have no plans to
issue any additional shares of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors,
without stockholder approval, may issue Preferred Stock with voting and
conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of common stock.

	Preferred Stock.   The holder of record of the one issued Preferred
Share shall be entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of
Interpra Exchangeable Shares outstanding from time to time (other than the
Exchangeable Shares held by the Corporation and its affiliates).  The holder
of record of the one issued Preferred Share is entitled to receive dividends.





	Series A Preferred Stock.  Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 8% per annum, payable in
quarterly installments in cash or in common stock, at the discretion of our
Board of Directors.  If we are liquidated, holders of Series A Preferred Stock
are entitled to receive a liquidation preference in an amount equal to the
stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock less any distributions of assets
and funds distributed to holders of Series A Preferred Stock, including
dividends and/or redemption proceeds from redemptions of Series A Preferred
Stock, and including all accrued and unpaid dividends.

	The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock and all
other Preferred Stock which is junior to the Series A Preferred Stock.

	The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time and from
time to time, at the sole discretion of the holder of Series A Preferred
Stock, into common stock at the rate of one share of Series A Preferred Stock
for one share of common stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in our
Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock.  Upon the
occurrence of both of (i) the closing bid price of our common stock at $4.00
or more for thirty (30) consecutive trading days on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
or any other exchange or trading market on which our common stock is traded
and (ii) registration of the common stock underlying the Series A Preferred
Stock with the Commission, then the Series A Preferred Stock automatically
converts into common stock.

	The Series A Preferred Stock will be adjusted in the event of a
capital reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger or other
business combination.

	Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to cast a number
of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each share
of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible.  Holders of Series A Preferred
Stock and common stockholders are entitled to vote as one class on all
matters as to which shareholders are entitled to vote, unless otherwise
provided by applicable law.

	Series 2 Special Voting Preferred Stock.  Neither holders nor owners
of Series 2 Special Voting Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends.
If we are liquidated, holders of Series 2 Special Voting Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive a liquidation preference in an amount equal to the stated
value of the Series 2 Special Voting Preferred Stock less any distributions
of assets and funds distributed to holders of Series 2 Special Voting
Preferred Stock, including redemption proceeds from redemptions of Series 2
Special Voting Preferred Stock.

	The Series 2 Special Voting Preferred Stock ranks senior to the
common stock and junior to any other class or series of capital stock of
the Company.

	The Series 2 Special Voting Share shall not be subject to redemption,
except that at such time as no Exchangeable Shares of eFilm (other than
Exchangeable Shares owned by the Corporation and its affiliates) shall be
outstanding, and no shares of stock, debt, options or other agreements which
could give rise to the issuance of any Exchangeable Shares to any person
(other than the Corporation and its affiliates) shall exist the Series 2
Special Voting Share shall automatically be redeemed and canceled, for an
amount equal to $0.01 due and payable upon such redemption.  Upon any such
redemption or other purchase or acquisition of the Series 2 Special Voting
Share by the Corporation, the Series 2 Special Voting Share shall be deemed
retired and canceled and may not be reissued.

	The holder of record of the Series 2 Special Voting Share shall be
entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of eFilm Exchangeable
Shares outstanding from time to time (other than the Exchangeable Shares held
by the Corporation and its affiliates).

	Pursuant to the terms of the certain Trust Agreement dated as
June 28, 2002, by and between U. S. Bank N. A., eFilm and the Corporation,
as such agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time
(the 'Trust Agreement').  During the term of the Trust Agreement, the
Corporation may not, without the consent of the holders of the Exchangeable
Shares (as defined in the Trust Agreement), issue any shares of its Series 2
Special Voting Stock in addition to the Series 2 Special Voting Share. The
Series 2 Special Voting Share entitles the holder of record to a number of





votes at meetings of holders of common stock of the Corporation equal to the
number of Exchangeable Shares outstanding from time to time (other than the
Exchangeable Shares held by the Corporation and its affiliates).  The
Trustee (as defined by the Trust Agreement) shall exercise the votes held
by the Series 2 Special Voting Share pursuant to and in accordance with the
Trust Agreement.  The voting rights attached to the Series 2 Special Voting
Share shall terminate pursuant to and in accordance with the Trust Agreement;
and the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions of such Series 2 Special Voting Share shall be otherwise
provided in the Trust Agreement.


Limitation of Director Liability
---------------------------------

	Section 180.0828 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law ('WBCL')
provides that officers and directors of domestic corporations may be
personally liable only for intentional breaches of fiduciary duties, criminal
acts, transactions from which the director derived an improper personal profit
and willful misconduct. These provisions may have the effect of reducing the
likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage or
deter shareholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors
for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful,
might otherwise have benefited us and our shareholders. The employment
agreements of certain directors and officers contain a provision similar to
the provisions of the WBCL.


Indemnification
----------------

	Under the WBCL, our directors and officers are entitled to mandatory
indemnification from us against certain liabilities and expenses (a) to the
extent such officers or directors are successful in the defense of a
proceeding and (b) in proceedings in which the director or officer is not
successful in the defense thereof, unless (in the latter case only) it is
determined that the director or officer breached or failed to perform his or
her duties to us and such breach or failure constituted: (i) a willful
failure to deal fairly with us or our shareholders in connection with a
matter in which the director or officer had a material conflict of interest;
(ii) a violation of the criminal law unless the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (iii) a
transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal
profit; or (iv) willful misconduct. The WBCL allows a corporation to limit
its obligation to indemnify officers and directors by providing so in its
articles of incorporation. Our Bylaws provide for indemnification of
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Wisconsin law.


Certain Statutory and Other Provisions
---------------------------------------

	The provisions of our Bylaws and the WBCL described in this section
may delay or make more difficult acquisitions or changes of control of us not
approved by our Board of Directors. Such provisions have been implemented to
enable us, particularly (but not exclusively) in the initial years of our
existence as a publicly-traded company, to develop our business in a manner
which will foster its long-term growth without disruption caused by the
threat of a takeover not deemed by its Board of Directors to be in our best
interests and our shareholders. Such provisions could have the effect of
discouraging third parties from making proposals involving an acquisition or
change of control of us although such proposals, if made, might be considered
desirable by a majority of our shareholders. Such provisions may also have
the effect of making it more difficult for third parties to cause the
replacement of our current management without the concurrence of the Board
of Directors.

	Number of Directors; Removal; Vacancies. The Bylaws currently provide
that the number of Directors shall be not less than three nor greater than
eleven. The authorized number of Directors may be changed by amendment of
the Bylaws. The Bylaws also provide that our Board of Directors shall have
the exclusive right to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors, including
vacancies created by expansion of the Board or removal of a Director, and
that any Director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve until the next
annual meeting of shareholders. The Bylaws further provide that Directors
may be removed by the shareholders only by the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least a majority of the votes then entitled to be cast in an
election of Directors. This provision, in conjunction with the provisions
of the Bylaws authorizing the Board to fill vacant Directorships, could
prevent shareholders from removing incumbent Directors and filling the
resulting vacancies with their own nominees.





	Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation. The WBCL provides
authority to us to amend our Articles at any time to add or change a provision
that is required or permitted to be included in the Articles or to delete a
provision that is not required to be included in the Articles. The Company's
Board of Directors may propose one or more amendments to our Articles for
submission to shareholders and may condition its submission of the proposed
amendment on any basis if the Board of Directors notifies each shareholder,
whether or not entitled to vote, of the shareholders' meeting at which the
proposed amendment will be voted upon.

	Constituency or Stakeholder Provision. Under Section 180.0827 of the
WBCL (the 'Wisconsin Stakeholder Provision'), in discharging his or her
duties to us and in determining what he or she believes to be in our best
interests of, a director or officer may, in addition to considering the
effects of any action on shareholders, consider the effects of the action on
employees, suppliers, customers, the communities in which we operate and
any other factors that the director or officer considers pertinent.

	Wisconsin Antitakeover Statutes. Sections 180.1140 to 180.1144 of the
WBCL (the 'Wisconsin Business Combination Statute') regulate the broad range
of 'business combinations' between a 'resident domestic corporation' (such as
us) and an 'interested stockholder.' The Wisconsin Business Combination
Statute defines a 'business combination' to include a merger or share
exchange, or a sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other
disposition of assets equal to at least 5% of the market value of the stock
or assets of the corporation or 10% of its earning power, or the issuance of
stock or rights to purchase stock with a market value equal to at least 5% of
the outstanding stock, the adoption of a plan of liquidation or dissolution
and certain other transactions involving an 'interested stockholder,' defined
as a person who beneficially owns 10% of the voting power of the outstanding
voting stock of the corporation or who is an affiliate or associate of the
corporation and beneficially owned 10% of the voting power of the then
outstanding voting stock within the last three (3) years. Section 180.1141 of
the Wisconsin Business Combination Statute prohibits a corporation from
engaging in a business combination (other than a business combination of a
type specifically excluded from the coverage of the statute) with an
interested stockholder for a period of three (3) years following the date
such person becomes an interested stockholder, unless the board of directors
approved the business combination or the acquisition of the stock that
resulted in a person becoming an interested stockholder before such
acquisition. Accordingly, the Wisconsin Business Combination Statute's
prohibition on business combinations cannot be avoided during the three
(3) year period by subsequent action of the board of directors or shareholders.
Business combinations after the three (3) year period following the
stock acquisition date are permitted only if (i) the board of directors
approved the acquisition of the stock by the interested stockholder prior to
the acquisition date, (ii) the business combination is approved by a majority
of the outstanding voting stock not beneficially owned by the interested
stockholder or (iii) the consideration to be received by shareholders meets
certain requirements of the statute with respect to form and amount.

	In addition, the WBCL provides in Sections 180.1130 to 180.1133 that
business combinations involving a 'significant shareholder' (as defined below)
and a 'resident domestic corporation' (such as us) are subject to a two-thirds
supermajority vote of shareholders (the 'Wisconsin Fair Price Statute'), in
addition to any approval otherwise required. A 'significant shareholder,' with
respect to a resident domestic corporation, is defined as a person who
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting stock of
the corporation, or an affiliate of the corporation which beneficially owned,
directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting stock of the corporation
within the last two (2) years. As a result of completing our initial public
offering of Common stock in 1998, we are an 'issuing public corporation.'
Under Section 180.1131 and Section 180.1132 of the WBCL, the business
combinations described above must be approved by 80% of the voting power of
the corporation's stock and at least two-thirds of the voting power of the
corporation's stock not beneficially held by the significant shareholder
who is party to the relevant transaction or any of its affiliates or
associates, in each case voting together as a single group, unless the
following fair price standards have been met: (i) the aggregate value of the
per share consideration is equal to the higher of (a) the highest price paid
for any common stock of the corporation by the significant shareholder in the
transaction in which it became a significant shareholder of within two (2)
years before the date of the business combination, (b) the market value of
the corporation's shares on the date of commencement of any tender offer by
the significant shareholder, the date on which the person became a
significant shareholder or the date of the first public announcement of the
proposed business combination, whichever is highest, or (c) the highest
liquidation or dissolution distribution to which holders of the shares would
be entitled; and (ii) either cash, or the form of consideration used by the
significant shareholder to acquire the largest number of shares, is offered.





	Section 180.1134 of the WBCL (the 'Wisconsin Defensive Action
Restrictions') provides that, in addition to the vote otherwise required by
law or the articles of incorporation of an issuing public corporation, the
approval of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote is
required before such corporation can take certain action while a takeover
offer is being made or after a takeover offer has been publicly announced
and before it is concluded. Under the Wisconsin Defensive Action Restrictions,
shareholder approval is required for the corporation to (i) acquire more than
5% of the outstanding voting shares at a price above the market price from
any individual who or organization which owns more than 3% of the outstanding
voting shares and has held such shares for less than two (2) years, unless a
similar offer is made to acquire all voting shares, or (ii) sell or option
assets of the corporation which amount to at least 10% of the market value of
the corporation, unless the corporation has at least three independent
directors (directors who are not officers or employees) and a majority of the
independent directors vote not to have this provision apply to the
corporation. The restrictions described in clause (i) above may have the
effect of deterring a shareholder from acquiring shares of common stock with
the goal of seeking to have us repurchase such shares at a premium over the
market price.

	Section 180.1150 of the WBCL provides that the voting power of
shares of public Wisconsin corporations such as us held by any person or
persons acting as a group in excess of 20% of the voting power in the
election of directors is limited to 10% of the full voting power of those
shares. This statutory voting restriction does not apply to shares acquired
directly from us or in certain specified transactions or shares for which
full voting power has been restored pursuant to a vote of shareholders.

	Certain Antitakeover Effects. Certain provisions of our Articles and
Bylaws may have significant antitakeover effects, including the ability of
the remaining directors to fill vacancies, and the ability of the Board of
Directors to issue 'blank check' Preferred Stock which, in turn, allows the
directors to adopt a so-called 'rights plan' which would entitle shareholders
(other than a hostile bidder) to acquire our stock at a discount.

	The explicit grant in the Wisconsin Stakeholder Provision of
discretion to directors to consider nonshareholder constituencies could, in
the context of an 'auction' of us, have antitakeover effects in situations
where the interests of our stakeholders, including employees, suppliers,
customers and communities in which we do business, conflict with the
short-term maximization of shareholder value.

	The Wisconsin Fair Price Statute may discourage any attempt by a
shareholder to squeeze out other shareholders without offering an appropriate
premium purchase price. In addition, the Wisconsin Defensive Action
Restrictions may have the effect of deterring a shareholder from acquiring
common stock with the goal of seeking to have us repurchase common stock at
a premium. The WBCL statutory provisions and our Article and Bylaw provisions
referenced above are intended to encourage persons seeking to acquire control
of us to initiate such an acquisition through arms-length negotiations with
our Board of Directors and to ensure that sufficient time for consideration
of such a proposal, and any alternatives, is available. Such measures are
also designed to discourage investors from attempting to accumulate a
significant minority position in us and then use the threat of a proxy
contest as a means to pressure us to repurchase common stock at a premium
over the market value. To the extent that such measures make it more
difficult for, or discourage, a proxy contest or the assumption of control
by a holder of a substantial block of Common stock, they could increase the
likelihood that incumbent Directors will retain their positions and may also
have the effect of discouraging a tender offer or other attempt to obtain
control of us, even though such attempt might be beneficial to us and its
shareholders.

ITEM 15.	INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


	Under the WBCL, our directors and officers are entitled to mandatory
indemnification from us against certain liabilities and expenses (a) to the
extent such officers or directors are successful in the defense of a
proceeding and (b) in proceedings in which the director or officer is not
successful in the defense thereof, unless (in the latter case only) it is
determined that the director or officer breached or failed to perform his
or her duties to us and such breach or failure constituted: (i) a willful
failure to deal fairly with us or our shareholders in connection with a matter
in which the director or officer had a material conflict of interest; (ii) a
violation of the criminal law unless the director or officer had reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to
believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (iii) a transaction from which the
director or officer derived an improper personal profit; or (iv) willful
misconduct. The WBCL allows a corporation to limit its obligation to
indemnify officers and directors by providing so in its articles of

ITEM 17.	UNDERTAKINGS


	The Registrant hereby undertakes:

	A.	(1)	To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
	being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

			(i)	To include any prospectus required by Section
		10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; and

			(ii)	To reflect in the prospectus any facts of events
		arising after the effective date of the registration statement
		which,individually or together, represent a fundamental change
		in the information in the registration statement; and

			(iii)	To include any additional or changed material
		information with respect to the plan of distribution;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

		(2)	That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
	Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
	new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
	and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
	the initial bona fide offering thereof.

		(3)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
	amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
	at the termination of the offering.

	B.	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that
is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	C.	Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is therefore unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.





                                    SIGNATURES

	Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets all of the requirements of filing on Form S-3 and has duly

undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the County of Milwaukee, State
of Wisconsin, on September 26, 2002.
