The information contained in the statement on Schedule 13D filed by
Zapata Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Zapata"), on August 17, 1995 with
respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of
Envirodyne Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), is
supplemented as follows:
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item No. 2 to the Schedule 13D is amended to read as follows:
Reporting Person
Zapata Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Zapata"), is in the
process of implementing a plan to reposition itself into the food packaging,
food and food service equipment and supply businesses, from the natural gas
services and other energy businesses in which it formerly was engaged. Zapata
currently conducts marine protein operations involving the production and sale
of a variety of protein and oil products from menhaden. Zapata also has an
interest in certain Bolivian oil and gas operations. Zapata's address is P.O.
Box 4240, Houston, Texas 77210.
Other persons enumerated in Instruction C
The persons enumerated in Instruction C to Schedule 13D and their
respective residence or business addresses, principal occupation or employment
and name, principal business and address in which such employment is conducted
are set forth in Appendix A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Each such person is a citizen of the United States.
Certain proceedings
Neither Zapata nor, to the knowledge of Zapata, any other person
enumerated in Instruction C to Schedule 13D, during the last five years, (i)
has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial
or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item No. 3 to the Schedule 13D is supplemented to add the following
information:
The consideration used to purchase the shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer to which this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates is approximately
$6,995,750 (subject to adjustment to reflect the number of shares actually
purchased as described in Item 5 of this Amendment No. 1). The source of such
funds is Zapata's working capital.

PAGE 4 OF 7 PAGES
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item No. 5 to the Schedule 13D is supplemented to add the following
information:
As of the date of this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, Zapata
beneficially owns 5,877,304 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as
referred to in the next paragraph. Based upon information contained in the most
recently available filing by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such shares constitute approximately 40.6% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock. Zapata has the sole power to vote and to dispose of all
of such shares. To the knowledge of Zapata, no shares of Common Stock are
beneficially owned by any of the persons enumerated in Instruction C to
Schedule 13D, except that Malcolm I. Glazer may be deemed to be a beneficial
owner of the shares of Common Stock held by Zapata because Mr. Glazer
beneficially owns approximately 35.2% of the outstanding Common Stock of Zapata
and is the Chairman of the Board of Zapata. However, neither the filing of this
Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed an admission that Malcolm I.
Glazer is the beneficial owner of any of such shares.
On June 19, 1996, Zapata purchased 818,006 shares of Common Stock in a
single brokerage transaction (which settled on June 21, 1996) at a purchase
price of $4.165 per share, including brokerage commissions.
On June 19, 1996 Zapata also contracted to acquire, at a purchase price
of $4.125 per share, all the shares of Common Stock held by the Wisconsin Steel
Settlement Fund, a holder of 900,000 shares of Common Stock, after giving effect
to reductions in the number of shares held by such holder (estimated not to
exceed 30,000 shares) effected prior to the closing of the transaction which is
to occur no later than June 30, 1996. The number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by Zapata as reflected in this Amendment No. 1 is based on
the assumption that 870,000 shares of Common Stock are so acquired and is
subject to adjustment to reflect the actual reductions in the shares held by the
seller prior to closing.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings and Relationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 to the Schedule 13D is supplemented to add the following
information:
The shares of Common Stock being acquired from the Wisconsin
Steel Settlement Fund are being acquired pursuant to a letter agreement
entered into with a representative of such seller on June 19, 1996. A
copy of such letter agreement is included as an exhibit to this
Amendment.
Item 7. Material to be filed as Exhibits.
Exhibit 3 - Letter Agreement dated June 19, 1996 relating to the
acquisition by Zapata of up to 900,000 shares of Common Stock from the
Wisconsin Steel Settlement Fund.

Mr. Avram Glazer

By Fax and letter to:
Mr. Avram Glazer
18 Stony Clover Lane
Pittsford, N.Y. 14534
Fax: 716-248-0309
Dear Mr. Glazer:
I am the attorney for, and am writing on behalf of, the Wisconsin Steel
Settlement Fund which is the owner of 900,000 shares of Envirodyne Industries,
Inc. (IRS No. 364081841). The Fund received this stock in connection with the
bankruptcy proceedings of Envirodyne, 93 B 319 (JDS) Order No. 250.
In accordance with your conversation today with our consultant Charles
P. Schwartz, Jr., the Fund agrees to sell, and Zapata agrees to purchase all of
the Fund's Envirodyne stock at $4.125 net per share. There are no broker's
commissions, and each party will pay its own fees and expenses.
As Mr. Schwartz explained, the exact number of shares you will be
buying will be somewhat less than 900,000 as some of the Wisconsin Steel
claimants have indicated that they will take stock rather than cash for their
share of the Fund. We estimate that less than 30,000 shares would be involved
in this category, but in any event we will be selling you all of Envirodyne
stock owned by the Fund after these claimants have withdrawn their shares. If
870,000 is the final number of shares, the transaction will be $3,588,750.
Working with you, we will arrange for prompt closing of this sale by
delivery of the stock to you against payment. We agree that the end of the
month, June 30th should be an outside date, and we will both work to close
earlier.
In the interest of good order please sign this letter on the line below
and fax it back to me at 312-372-7391.
