Ingres for PC's works fine under MSWindows/386. All you need to do
is create a DOS shell window that requests 640k, and follow the
directions in the manual for starting up Ingres. One caveat: do NOT
set the Exclusive bit in the PIF setup for the DOS window, as the
Alt - is trapped by INGRES; you can switch windows using the mouse.

cheers,
