COMPUTER ASSOCIATES AND CHEYENNE ANNOUNCE HEARING DATE FOR MOTION TO   
         ENJOIN; TENDER OFFER EXPECTED TO CLOSE THIS WEEK

ISLANDIA, NY and ROSLYN HEIGHTS, NY, November 4, 1996 - Computer 
Associates International, Inc. (NYSE: CA) and Cheyenne Software, Inc. 
(AMEX:CYE) announced today that a hearing has been scheduled for 
November 6, 1996 in the Delaware Chancery Court on a motion to 
preliminarily enjoin consummation of CA s tender to acquire Cheyenne.  
The tender offer is scheduled to expire at midnight on Friday, November 
8, 1996. Cheyenne and CA believe that the motion is without merit.

The motion relates to an amendment to a purported class action complaint 
originally filed against Cheyenne and the members of Cheyenne s board of 
directors in April 1996.  The complaint, as amended, alleges that 
Cheyenne s directors breached their fiduciary duties by rejecting an 
earlier request of McAfee Associates, Inc. to negotiate a merger of 
Cheyenne and McAfee and by agreeing to the proposed transaction with CA. 
It is further alleged in the amended complaint that Cheyenne s failure 
to disclose certain investment banker analyses constituted a breach of 
the directors duty of candor to Cheyenne s shareholders.  The amended 
complaint also names CA as a party to the litigation.  A copy of the 
amended complaint has been previously filed with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to CA s Schedule 14D-1 and Cheyenne s 
Schedule 14D-9.  Both Cheyenne and CA deny any wrongdoing and will 
defend the action vigorously.

Computer Associates International, Inc. (NYSE: CA), with headquarters in 
Islandia, NY, is the world leader in mission-critical software.  The 
company develops, licenses, and supports more than 500 integrated 
products that include enterprise computing and information management,

has 9000 people in 130 offices in 40 countries and had revenue of more 
than $3.5 billion in fiscal year 1996.  CA can be reached by visiting
