Atlanta (January 24, 1996) - IQ Software (NASDAQ:IQSW), a leading provider
of client/server data access and analysis tools, announced today that
IQ/Objects, its top selling query and reporting software, has received a
1995 Editor's Choice Award from BYTE Magazine. Among the award winners,
announced in the February 1996 issue, IQ/Objects was the only Business
Intelligence product to be recognized.

"We are honored to receive BYTE Magazine Editors' Choice Award," said
Charles R. Chitty, president and CEO of IQ Software. "This award reflects
our mission to apply innovative leading-edge technology to solve business
users problems. Our use of object technology allows us to hide complexity
and provide rich functionality."

development, IQ Software has taken the lead in delivering the power of
objects to business users. IQ/Objects is the first true object- based
