The class of equity securities to which this statement relates is the 
Common Stock of Arbor Software Corp. ("the Issuer"), whose principal 
executive offices are located at 1344 Crossman Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA
94089.

ITEM 2.   Identity and Background.
- ------    -----------------------

          This statement is being filed by Amerindo Investment Advisors Inc., 
a California corporation whose principal executive offices are located at 
One Embarcadero Center, Suite 2300, San Francisco, California, 94111 
("Amerindo"), Amerindo Investment Advisors, Inc., a Panama corporation, whose 
principal executive offices are located at Edificio Sucre, Calle 48 Este, Bella 
Vista, Apartado 6277, Panama 5, Panama ("Amerindo Panama"), the Amerindo 
Advisors (UK) Limited Retirement Benefits Scheme, the address of which is 43 
Upper Grosvenor Street, London WIX 9PG England (the "Retirement Benefits
Scheme"), Alberto W. Vilar, Gary A. Tanaka, James P.F. Stableford, and Renata
Le Port.  Although this statement is being made jointly by Amerindo, Amerindo 
Panama, the Retirement Benefits Scheme, Messrs. Vilar, Tanaka, Stableford, and
Ms. Le Port, each of them expressly disaffirms membership in any group under 
Rule 13D-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange 
Act"), or otherwise.  

          Amerindo is registered as an investment advisor under the Investment
Advisors Act of 1940, as amended.  Messrs. Alberto W. Vilar and Gary A. Tanaka, 
whose business addresses are the same as those set forth for Amerindo and each 
of whom is a U.S. citizen, are the only directors and executive officers of
Amerindo Panama.  They are also the only directors and executive officers of 
Amerindo, other than Mr. James H. Furey, Chief Operating Officer, and 
Mr. Joaquin Garcia-Larrieu, Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Furey and Mr. Garcia's 
business addresses are at Amerindo's offices at 399 Park Avenue, New York, New 
York 10022.  Messrs. Alberto W. Vilar, Gary A. Tanaka, James P.F. Stableford 
and Ms. Renata Le Port are managing trustees of the Retirement Benefits 
Scheme.  Amerindo, Amerindo Panama, the Retirement Benefits Scheme, Messrs. 
Vilar, Tanaka, Stableford and Ms. Le Port are sometimes hereinafter 
collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons."  Messrs. Vilar, Tanaka, 
Stableford, Furey, Garcia and Ms. Le Port are sometimes hereinafter 
collectively referred to as the "Other Named Individuals."

          During the last five Quarters, none of the Reporting Persons or Other 
Named Individuals has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors), nor has any such individual or entity
been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction as a result of which proceeding such individual or
entity 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 Amounts of Funds or Other Consideration.
- -------   --------------------------------------------------

          All purchases of the subject securities by the Reporting Persons
have been in the ordinary course of the respective businesses of Amerindo,
and Amerindo Panama (collectively, the "Advisor Entities") as investment 
advisors, except for an aggregate of 4,000 shares which are owned by the
Retirement Benefits Scheme.  Accordingly, the funds used to purchase the 
subject securities have been client funds pertaining to accounts under 
management, except that the shares owned by the Retirement Benefits Scheme
were purchased with Retirement Benefits Scheme assets, respectively.  
Purchases of the Issuer's securities by the Named Individuals would all be 
and have all been made with their personal funds, except that margin credit 
may also be, and may have been, employed.

<PAGE>

ITEM 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
- -------   ----------------------

        All of the subject securities have been purchased by the Advisor
Entities in the ordinary course of their respective businesses as
investment advisors, (or, in the case of securities held by the Retirement
Benefits Scheme, in the ordinary course of investing for the Retirement
Benefits Scheme), and not with the purpose of effecting change or 
influencing the control of the issuer or in connection with or as a 
participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, including 
any transaction subject to Rule 13D-3(b) under the Exchange Act.  
Additionally, because each of the Advisor Entities is obligated to act 
in the best interests of its respective clients and in accordance with 
the respective mandates of those clients, and because the trustees of the
Retirement Benefits Scheme are required to act in the best interest of the
beneficiaries thereof, there is no agreement between or among any of the 
Reporting Persons to act together with respect to the Issuer or its 
securities, except that they may, from time to time and provided that 
transactions are otherwise being effected at the same time, aggregate 
orders for client accounts in order to receive more favorable trading 
terms.  Any of the subject securities acquired or which might in the future 
be acquired by any of the Named Individuals have been and would be acquired 
for investment and not with the purpose of effecting change or influencing 
the control of the issuer or in connection with or as a participant in any 
transaction having such purpose or effect, including any transaction 
subject to Rule 13D-3(b) under the Exchange Act.

Ending September 30, 1997, unless information has been obtained as of a later

Exhibit).

          (b) Messrs. Vilar and Tanaka share voting and dispositive power
over all shares shown as owned by any of the Reporting Persons, except that 
Messrs. Vilar, Tanaka, Stableford and Ms. Le Port have shared voting and
dispositive power over the 4,000 shares held by the Retirement Benefits
Scheme; however, each client of the Advisor Entities has the unilateral right 
to terminate the advisory arrangement with the Entity in question on notice 
which typically need not exceed 30 days.  Each of the Other Named Individuals 
has sole voting and dispositive power as to the shares shown in Exhibit "A" as 
owned by him.

          (c) The table contained in Exhibit "B" attached hereto sets forth for 
each of the Reporting Persons and Named Individuals information concerning all
acquisitions and dispositions of Issuer's Common Stock by any such person
during the period beginning on October 6, 1997, and ending on December 5,
1997, including (i) the date of the transaction (ii) whether the transaction
