SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration: (The MacNeal-Schwendler Corporation, Common Stock, 
$.01 Par Value, Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2004, and 
Common Stock Purchase Rights) File No. 1-8722

June 26, 1996.
    The MacNeal-Schwendler Corporation's (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the above specified securities (``Securities'') from listing 
and registration on the American Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the 
Securities from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, in making the decision to withdraw its 
Common Stock, Debentures and Common Stock Purchase Rights from listing 
on the Amex, the Company considered the direct and indirect costs and 
expenses attendant on maintaining the dual listing of its Common Stock, 
Debentures and Common Stock Purchase Rights on the NYSE and the Amex. 
The Company does not see any particular advantage in the dual trading 
of its securities and believes that dual listing would fragment the 
market for its securities.
    Any interested person may, on or before July 18, 1996 submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchanges and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz
Secretary.
