Hello,

Has anyone figured out the format that the Ingres 'copyform' command uses?
Most of it relates to the system catalogs directly, but there are a few
items that are difficult to figure out.

I'm creating a SW package on Ingres 6.x to generate forms by selecting
pre-configured groups of related fields and trim for diagrams.  I thought
that it would be safer to use copyform then to update the system catalogs
directly.

Another question...  If the information about the copyform format is
proprietary, can the information be purchased from Ingres?
