All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant
to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers:
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation
to grant indemnification to directors, officers and other agents in terms
sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for

of 1933. Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the
Company, directors and officers of the Company are indemnified to the full
extent permitted by law. In addition, the Company has entered into
indemnification agreements with its officers and directors that indemnify such
officers and directors to the full extent permitted by law against all expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgements, fines or settlement amounts incurred or
paid by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or on behalf
of the Company, on account of their service as an officer or director of the
Company.

Item 19. Undertakings:
A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
3
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

The Continuum Company, Inc.

Austin, Texas 78759
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Vice President and General Counsel of The Continuum Company, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and I have advised the Company in
connection with the registration, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration
Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of the
issuance by the Company from time to time of up to 506,153 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Shares"). The Shares are
issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options (the "Options") to purchase
shares of common stock of Hogan Systems, Inc. that were assumed by the Company
in connection with the merger (the "Merger") of Continuum Acquisition
Corporation into Hogan Systems, Inc. Such merger was consummated on the date
hereof.
In this connection, I have examined the corporate records of the Company,
including its Restated Articles of Incorporation, its By-laws and minutes of
meetings of its directors. I have also examined the Registration Statement,
together with the exhibits thereto and such other documents as I have deemed
necessary for the purpose of expressing the opinion contained herein.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Shares will be, when
issued in accordance with the terms of the Options, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not thereby admit that I am
within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Very truly yours,
JACK D. DENNISON
Vice President and General Counsel
