Yes. It looks good, but I've only seen it demonstrated on SUN-4. 

Can anyone tell me if INGRES Windows 4GL are ported to other 
hardware-platforms such as Decstation? If not, have anyone heard of a release
date ?

A rumour:  INGRES Windows 4GL will not be ported to the SUN-3 platform.
Can someone confirm this rumour?
  
There must be a lot of sites out there still running SUN-3's who want this
product, or ?
