             COOPERATIVE COMPUTING, INC. AND CCI ACQUISITION CORP.
              EXTEND CASH TENDER OFFER FOR SHARES OF TRIAD SYSTEMS
          CORPORATION UNTIL 10:00 A.M. ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1997


AUSTIN, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 6, 1997 -- Cooperative Computing, Inc. and its
affiliate CCI Acquisition Corp., both of Austin, announced today that CCI
Acquisition has extended until 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on Wednesday,
February 19, 1997 its tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of Triad Systems Corporation (NASDAQ:TRSC) of Livermore,
California at a price of $9.25 per share, net to the seller in cash.  The
tender offer was previously scheduled to expire at 10:00 A.M., New York City
time, on Friday, February 7, 1997.  The terms of the extended tender offer are
identical to those in the original tender offer contained in the tender offer
materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 23,
1996.

CCI Acquisition has been advised by the depositary for the tender offer that as
of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on February 5, 1997, 13,775,570 shares of
Triad's common stock (approximately 77.6% of the issued and outstanding shares)
had been validly tendered and not withdrawn.

CCI Acquisition stated that it was extending the tender offer to provide
additional time to resolve certain issues raised by the Federal Trade
Commission in connection with the FTC's review of the transaction under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.  CCI Acquisition also stated
that, although no assurances can be given, it continues to be optimistic that
all such outstanding issues will be satisfactorily resolved.
