dated January 11, 1996, in each case as filed pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
and the description of the Company's Common Stock  contained in
Registration Statement on Form S-3, dated February 22,  1995
(No.  33-89278),  are  hereby  incorporated by reference  in
this  registration statement and shall be deemed to be a part
hereof.

     All documents filed subsequently to the date hereof by
the Company pursuant to  Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of  1934,  prior  to  the
filing  of a post-effective amendment which indicates  that  all
securities  offered  have been sold or which de-registers  all
securities  then remaining  unsold,  shall  be deemed to be
incorporated  by reference  in  this registration  statement
and to be part thereof from the date of filing  of  such
documents.

            LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND
           INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

       The   California  General  Corporations  Law  provides
that   California  corporations may include provisions in
their articles of incorporation relieving directors  of  monetary  
liability for breach of  their  fiduciary  duties  as directors,  
except for the liability of a director resulting from  (i)  acts  or
omissions  involving intentional misconduct or a knowing and
culpable  violation  of  law, (ii) acts or omissions
that a director believes to be  contrary  to  the
best  interests  of  the corporation or its shareholders  or
that  involve  the absence  of  good faith on the part of
the director, (iii) any transaction  from
which  the director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv)
acts or omissions  showing  reckless  disregard for the
director's duty to the corporation  or  its
shareholders  in circumstances in which the director was
aware, or  should  have  been  aware, in the ordinary
course of performing a director's duties, of a risk
of  serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v)
acts or omissions constituting  an unexcused pattern of
inattention that amounts to an  abdication  of the director's
duty to the corporation or its shareholders, (vi) transactions
between  corporations and directors which have not been
approved or ratified  in good faith by disinterested
directors or shareholders or which are not proved to
be  just and reasonable as to the corporation, and (vii)
approving distributions to  shareholders  or loans to
directors or officers contrary  to California  law.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the
Company's directors are not liable to the Company or its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of
their fiduciary duties to the fullest extent permitted by
California law.

      The inclusion of the above provision in the Articles of
Incorporation  may have  the  effect  of  reducing the
likelihood of shareholder derivative  suits against  directors
and may discourage or deter shareholders or management  from
bringing  a  lawsuit against directors for breach of their
duty  of  care,  even though  such  an  action,  if
successful, might otherwise have  benefitted  the Company  and its
shareholders.  At present, there is no litigation or proceeding
pending involving a director of the Company as to which
indemnification is being sought, nor is the Company aware
of any threatened litigation that may result in
claims for indemnification by any director.

          Re:  Creative Computer Applications, Inc.
("Company")

Gentlemen:

     We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Registration
Statement covers 31,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares")
to be issued upon exercise of 31,000 Common Stock Options
("Options") of the Company pursuant to the Company's 1982 Non-Qualified 
Stock Option Plan.

     We have examined the originals, or photostatic or
certified  copies, of such records of the Company,
certificates of officers  of the Company and of public officials and such
other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary as the
basis for the  opinions set forth below.  In such examination, we have
assumed  the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the
originals of such copies.

     Based upon our examination mentioned above, subject to
the assumptions stated herein and relying on statements of
facts  contained in the documents that we have examined, we are of
the opinion that the issuance of the Shares has been duly
authorized and that, when issued and paid for will have been
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to
the Registration Statement and to the incorporation by
reference to the reference to our firm appearing under the
caption "Legal Opinions" in the prospectus that forms a part of a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company and
declared effective on February 22, 1995 (Registration No. 33-89278).

that   California  corporations may include provisions in

liability for breach of  their  fiduciary  duties  as directors,  
except for the liability of a director resulting from  (i)  acts  or

that a director believes to be  contrary  to  the

which  the director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv)
acts or omissions  showing  reckless  disregard for the

shareholders  in circumstances in which the director was

The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the

      The inclusion of the above provision in the Articles of

indemnification is being sought, nor is the Company aware
of any threatened litigation that may result in
claims for indemnification by any director.

          Re:  Creative Computer Applications, Inc.
("Company")

Gentlemen:

     We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Registration
Statement covers 31,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares")
to be issued upon exercise of 31,000 Common Stock Options
("Options") of the Company pursuant to the Company's 1982 Non-Qualified 
Stock Option Plan.

     We have examined the originals, or photostatic or
certified  copies, of such records of the Company,
certificates of officers  of the Company and of public officials and such
other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary as the
basis for the  opinions set forth below.  In such examination, we have
assumed  the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as
