Abstract
If black hole formation and evaporation can be described by an matrix, information would be expected to come out in black hole radiation. An estimate shows that it may come out initially so slowly, or else be so spread out, that it would never show up in an analysis perturbative in , or in 1/N for two-dimensional dilatonic black holes with a large number of minimally coupled scalar fields.

12 pages, 1 PostScript figure, LaTeX, Alberta-Thy-24-93 (In response to Phys. Rev. Lett. referees' comments, the connection between expansions in inverse mass and in 1/N are spelled out, and a figure is added. An argument against perturbatively predicting even late-time information is also provided, as well as various minor changes.)
