CHEYENNE SOFTWARE NOT FOR SALE
Roslyn Heights, N.Y., April 17, 1996 -- ReiJane Huai, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Cheyenne Software,
Inc. (AMEX: CYE), today said, "Cheyenne Software, Inc. is not
for sale and has absolutely no interest in pursuing the merger
proposal by McAfee Associates, which our Board unanimously
determined is not in the best interests of our shareholders and
customers. The Cheyenne Board has always been and continues to
be committed to achieving long-term value for the Company's
shareholders. However, I and the Cheyenne Board have serious
concerns about McAfee's business and the value of its stock."
Mr. Huai further stated that he is shocked by the series of
misstatements, misinformation and hyperbole by Bill Larson,
McAfee's Chief Executive Officer, since Monday.
