JASMINE RELEASED TO UNIVERSAL ACCLAIM

NEW YORK, January 30, 1996--Computer Associates and Fujitsu announced
Jasmine to customers worldwide with universal and unprecedented acclaim
from prestigious service providers, influential industry analysts such as
Aberdeen and Meta, and from such prominent industry leaders as Microsoft
Corporation, Netscape Communications Corp. and Sun Microsystems. A
sampling of their comments follows:

ABERDEEN GROUP

"Stop, look and listen!" said Peter Kastner, vice president. "Someday, all
databases will have the Internet commerce-enabled (ICE) features of
Jasmine -- but not soon. In the meantime, Jasmine has outstanding features
for developing next-generation applications that are rich in multimedia
and non-traditional data types while recognizing that distributed
applications require careful management and control."

ACADEMIC PRESS

"As we developed our project, we required a database that would meet our
needs today and in the future. What impressed us about Fujitsu's object
database technology was the level of granularity it could provide," said
Larry Alexander, electronic publishing manager. "As part of the overall
system, it allows us to offer various levels of access to our database as
part of the licensing agreements. What sets this system apart is the
degree of granularity it can give to almost any object in the database. We
can really break down the access levels to as fine a piece as we want."

ANDYNE COMPUTING

"Jasmine's multimedia extensions and Internet integration provide Andyne
with an ideal environment for making the natural progression into Intranet
and Internet arenas," said Doug Ross, chief technology officer. "We are
excited about the possibilities of this new venture."

AUSTRALIAN BUREAU OF STATISTICS

"Fujitsu's object database technology has provided us the best solution for
the complex structure of our Business Register data," said Jonathan
Palmer, technology applications manager. "We are using it to redevelop the
register, one of our mission-critical applications. This technology has
provided us significant advantages in terms of reduced development costs,
easier maintainability and re-use of objects in other statistical
systems."

BANK OF POLAND

"We are most impressed with the consistent investment of Computer
Associates in new technologies. The announcement of Jasmine confirms CA's
ability to guarantee an evolving path to its customers," said Szukszta, IT
manager. "The results speak for themselves in our bank by solving our
current critical business problems. The technological leadership of CA
gives us the best assurance of meeting our strategic information
management needs also in the future."

CENTERLINE SOFTWARE

"Jasmine is the ideal catalyst for object database and multimedia
application development on the Internet," said Paul Henderson, vice
president of marketing. "CenterLine has built its reputation on providing
leading edge solutions for its customers and Jasmine is the kind of tool
they can leverage to boost business vis-a-vis electronic commerce."

GUPTA

"The need for applications and object-oriented databases is increasing due
to the growth of multimedia and the Internet in business," said Earl
Stahl, chief technology officer. "Jasmine meets these needs effectively
and we are committed to bringing development tools like Centura Team
Developer and SQLWindows to help clients."

INFORMATION DISCOVERY

"Jasmine is a very positive step toward the integration of technologies for
the Intelligent Databases, bringing together hypermedia, data analysis and
object orientation," said Dr. Kamran Parsaye, CEO. "Intelligent Databases
manage multiple forms of data as flexibly as we do, but on a larger data
scale. With Jasmine, Computer Associates has taken a significant step in
making this functionality available to users at large."

KINESIS

"As a specialist in document management, we believe that both the
object-oriented database and the Internet capabilities of Jasmine will be
significant," said Robert Reid, president and CEO. "Our flagship product,
Corporate Recall, has been architected from the ground up to support
Internet/Intranet applications. Jasmine will enable the more rapid
implementation of new applications with substantial benefit to our
customers."

LAND REGISTRY

"The Land Registry foresees many strategic opportunities for Jasmine, "said
Dr. P.J.M. Van Oosterom, senior information manager. "In particular, one
GIS (geographical information systems) project which requires sharing data
between various sites. We anticipate that Jasmine will accelerate the
completion of this project because of its multimedia environment which
allows for sophisticated interaction between map-based selections and
presentations."

L'OREAL

"We welcome the announcement of Jasmine as an object extension to
CA-OpenIngres," said Jean- Daniel Kahn, director of organization. "While
we have been intensively using the database and associated tools for many
years now in our business systems, this certainly opens the perspective to
integrating multimedia and 'Internet-Intranet' within a consistent
technology framework. This is really the type of move we were expecting
from Computer Associates."

META GROUP

"Jasmine will become a landmark product in the CA portfolio, representing
CA's intent to lead rather than follow the market," said Natasha Krol,
vice president and service director of Advanced Information Management.
"Jasmine's multimedia authoring capabilities, coupled with a strong
content management environment, positions it well for the 'new media', as
well as Internet WWW HTML-based applications. In addition, a combination
of Jasmine and legacy applications has the potential to add new luster to
the corporate 'crown jewels'."

MICROSOFT CORPORATION

"We're pleased to see that CA has embraced ISAPI, and is making integration
with it and our Internet Information Server a priority in Jasmine," said
Paul Maritz, group vice president. "This will enable CA to provide strong
Intranet and Internet solutions for our mutual customers."

NETSCAPE COMMUNICATIONS CORP.

"As businesses continue to harness the power of the Internet, robust
business applications and development tools will be in great demand," said
Marc Andreessen, vice president and co- founder. "Combining Netscape's
open software platform with CA's new Jasmine technology is another way
Netscape is making it easy for our customers to access the wealth of
resources available on their enterprise networks and the Internet."

NEW ENGLAND ELECTRIC

"CA is well-positioned to take advantage of object-oriented technology,"
said Dan Reddy, manager of technology services. "Jasmine's multimedia
product is intriguing as a set of enterprise-wide tools for developing
bullet-proof Internet applications for electronic commerce."

PROPHECY

"Prophecy has been developing a new family of financial applications with
object technology for quite some time," said Kenneth M. McKenzie,
president of U.S. operations. "We are excited about Jasmine because it
will give us extensions to a new breed of objects that our customers can
leverage for their own business. Jasmine will streamline the use of
multimedia objects."

ROGUE WAVE SOFTWARE

"Rogue Wave customer applications are growing increasingly complex in the
quantity and diversity of information they manage. The rise of
object-oriented technology and prevalence of large data elements, such as
images and audio files, have created new data management challenges that
are met by CA's Jasmine," said David Rice, product manager of database
products. "With the introduction of Jasmine, CA is defining its leadership
role for data handling in multimedia applications. CA is delivering
database technology that meets today's complex data handling needs without
sacrificing the reliability and performance on which we rely."

SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC.

"Sun has been on the leading edge in helping businesses exploit the
opportunities that the Internet has to offer with technologies such as
Java and JavaScript," said Scott McNealy, chairman, president and chief
executive officer. "As business use of the Internet expands, it will drive
increased demand for robust object-oriented databases such as Jasmine to
bring new usability and functionality to the net."
