    It said the action is necessary to successfully reorganize
the company under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code, for
which it filed last week.
    A company spokesman also said Eugene Gruenberg, Michael

Gruenberg had been president and chief operating officer, and
Ringhofer had been vice president of marketing. But they had
retained other duties until Monday, the spokesman said.
