ANDYNE COMPUTING LTD. UNVEILS NEW AND UNIQUE PRODUCT STRATEGY

Company's integrated decision support software will enable users, for the
first time, to access transaction data, summarized-trend data, and
structured text -- from a single application interface

KINGSTON, Ontario, August 21, 1995 -- Andyne Computing Limited (NASDAQ:
"ADYNF", TSE: "ADY") today announced a new and unique product development
effort in Decision Support System (DSS) software -- the Andyne Integrated
Solution.

The Andyne Integrated Solution will combine the power of three Andyne
products: Andyne GQL., a DSS application for relational data sources;
Andyne PaBLO, a DSS tool for multidimensional data sources; and, a product
being developed, code named Rosetta, which will be a DSS application for
structured-text sources. "Andyne intends to offer the industry's broadest
access to corporate information at the desktop," said A. Cameron Thompson,
Andyne's president and chief executive officer. "Such information may
reside in relational databases, multidimensional databases, or structured
text databases. Our strategy is to uniquely integrate all three
information sources into one single view on the desktop."

The Andyne Integrated Solution will provide users with a visual interface
for accessing company information. Users simply will point and click to
access the business information they need and combine results from the
various sources into one view to enable integrated analysis and reporting.
The Andyne Integrated Solution's individual products -GQL, PaBLO and
Rosetta -- also may be purchased and used separately.

PaBLO makes it easy for non-technical users to navigate summarized,
multidimensional information in a data warehouse, enabling decision makers
to uncover complex trends without having to learn a complex data-access
language. And, by "drilling" through summarized information to the
transactional data that is GQL's forte, business users can explore the
processes driving corporate results. The ability of The Andyne Integrated
Solution to combine information from structured-text sources via Rosetta
will make Andyne's product offering unique in the information access
marketplace.

Rosetta is the result of a technology acquisition by Andyne. Last December,
the Company announced it had completed its acquisition of a Standard
Generalized Markup Language ("SGML") technology for storage and retrieval
of structured text documents. SGML is a data-description language designed
for, but not limited to, describing the structure of textual data, so that
organizations may exchange documents easily, manipulate and search them,
put them to different uses with shared data or simply revise and reissue
them with less effort.

It is estimated that documents now represent approximately 70 to 90 percent
of the information resources of a typical enterprise. However, unlike the
10 to 30 percent of numerical information managed in relational databases,
documents and the information contained within them have not benefitted
significantly from advances made in database technologies.

"SGML technology is one of the most important advances in making text more
useful; it brings database capabilities to raw-text collection and
manipulation," added Thompson. "We continue to be excited about this
technology, because we believe the SGML technology strategically
complements Andyne's existing product offerings -- GQL and PaBLO software
products for accessing, reporting and managing data -- and positions the
Company to broaden the range of solutions Andyne can offer for information
access throughout an enterprise," Thompson said.

Andyne is a leader in the development and marketing of Decision Support
System (DSS) software for the Managed Query Environment (MQE) -- the
Andyne Integrated Solution -with more than 55,000 installations worldwide.
The Andyne Integrated Solution brings together the important sources of
business information -- relational databases, multidimensional databases,
and structured text repositories -- in one view, to enable integrated
analysis and reporting. The Andyne Integrated Solution consists of three
products: Andyne GQL, an ad hoc query and reporting tool for relational
data sources; Andyne PaBLO, an OLAP (online analytic processing) client
tool for multidimensional data sources; and Rosetta, the code name for an
SGML-based product now in development that stores and retrieves structured
text documents and is scheduled for release in 1996. The Andyne Integrated
Solution, combining GQL, PaBLO and Rosetta technologies, will create the
first Decision Support software suite capable of accessing and analyzing
information from relational databases, multidimensional databases and
structured text repositories, in a single view.
