COMPUTER ASSOCIATES SHIPS CA-SUPERPROJECT 4.0 FOR WINDOWS

ODBC Support Allows Importing And Exporting From Database Of Choice

ISLANDIA, N.Y., October 2, 1995--Computer Associates is shipping
CA-SuperProject 4.0 for Windows, its highly successful project management
software whose 16,000-task capacity makes it ideal for large projects or
multi-project consolidations.

CA-SuperProject 4.0's enhanced ODBC support permits users to export and
import data to and from any database, allowing external programs to report
on and update project information. Multiple project data can be exported
to a single relational database.

"This release is dramatically easier to use, while even stronger in
management reporting and multi-project capabilities," said Dan Streib,
CA-SuperProject analyst. "Our strategy is to provide a single product that
is both easy enough for occasional users, yet fully featured for
professional project managers."

CA-SuperProject 4.0 for Windows includes a refined user interface, enhanced
views and charts, added calculation options and fields, strengthened
multi-project management, enhanced reporting, and broadened connectivity
--making it ideal for program and project enterprise management in
multi-platform environments.

KEY ENHANCEMENTS

 Ease of Use --bubble help, multi-level undo, enhanced mouse support,
 configurable tool bar, spell checker, pop-up forms, unique tab
 system for changing projects and layouts, forms for easy updating
 of progress, and overall interface improvements make CA-SuperProject
 more user friendly.

 Expanded Support --ODBC support allows external programs to update
 project data. Projects can also be opened or saved using the
 Microsoft MPX format. OLE 2.0 support lets users take advantage
 of OLE automation, OLE imbedding to tasks, resources and assignments,
 and graphic display of OLE objects on Gantt and PERT charts.

 Multi-Project Management --the "Window Combine" option
 brings all open projects together in a single Task Outline, PERT
 Chart, and WBS Chart for display, editing, roll-up and reporting,
 while retaining them as distinct projects. A simple mouse drag
 can schedule tasks in one project to handoff the start of tasks
 and other projects. Resource pool projects and group resource
 calendars improve the sharing of resources.

 Accelerated Learning --an improved interactive tutorial and Project
 Manager's Assistant guide users through all major procedures using
 live data.

 incremental size zooming and print-to-fit capability. A new
 organization  chart diagrams relationships among project resources.

 and highlighting abilities to reveal the status of each calendar day.
