COMPUTER ASSOCIATES TENDER OFFER FOR LEGENT CLOSES WITH MORE THAN 90
PERCENT ACCEPTANCE

ISLANDIA, N.Y., August 1, 1995 --- Computer Associates International, Inc.
(NYSE Symbol: CA) today announced the expiration of the tender offer by
its wholly owned subsidiary, VR126, Inc., for all of the outstanding
shares of Legent Corporation (NASDAQ Symbol: LGNT) common stock at a price
of $47.95 per share in cash. The offer expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York
City time, on Monday, July 31, 1995, and all shares validly tendered (and
not properly withdrawn) prior to such expiration have been accepted for
payment and will be paid for promptly.

IBJ Schroder Bank & Trust Company, as Depositary, has advised that
approximately 38,484,520 shares were tendered in the offer prior to its
expiration, which constitute approximately 91 percent of the total number
of outstanding shares of common stock of Legent on a fully diluted basis.

Computer Associates is replacing its existing $500 million Credit Agreement
with a new $2 billion Credit Agreement with a group of banks headed by
Credit Suisse. Computer Associates will obtain all funds needed to pay for
the shares of Legent accepted for payment in the tender offer from its
general corporate funds and by borrowing under the Credit Agreement.

The pending merger of Legent and VR126, Inc. will become effective as soon
as practicable after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in, and
subject to the terms of, the Agreement and Plan of Merger among Legent,
VR126, Inc. and Computer Associates, but in no event earlier than November
6, 1995. Once the pending merger becomes effective, Legent will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of Computer Associates.

The purchase price and associated charges will be allocated among the
identifiable tangible and intangible assets of Legent based on their fair
market value at the acquisition date under the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations. The costs of purchased research and
development for that portion of the acquired technology that has not
reached the working model stage and has no alternative future use will be
written off against Computer Associates earnings in its second quarter
ending September 30, 1995. As previously announced, the after tax charge
against earnings is initially projected to be approximately $800 million,
or approximately $5.00 per share.
