A few months ago I posted two articles; one asking for info on ports of
University INGRES to Suns or Goulds, and the other asking if there was
interest in an INGRES mailing list.

Well, the first question was answered with a few "don't, it's a mess"
letters and one from someone at RTI (I forget who) who suggested that
RTI has really good price breaks for universities.  Although it's
true that they do have good prices, we aren't looking to spend any
money at all (typical univeristy attitude...).  Supposedly the latest
Sun User Group tape has a working INGRES on it, though.

In response to the second question, I got exactly one interested
response.  Oh well.
