[Editorial Note:  This is actually a response to yvonne@huh.Metaphor.COM.
 Unfortunately, my e-mail to her bounced for some reason.  Moreover, the
 response may be of general interest, so I have no qualms about posting
 it to the net ... ]

The reference is:
M.Atinson, F.Bancilhon, D.DeWitt, K.Dittrich, D.Maier, S.Zdonik:
"The Object-Oriented Database System Manifesto."
Proc. on Deductive and Object-Oriented Database Systems (DOOD '89),
Kyoto, Dec. 1989.

The participants got a preliminary copy of the proceedings.  It is
planned to have them published as a _real_ book, but I don't
remember by whom (probably North Holland) nor when.  I certainly
haven't seen the book in a bookstore yet.

In the 3rd Generation Database Manifesto by Messrs Stonebraker, Rowe,
Lindasy, Gray, Carey, and Beech (which was reprinted in a recent
ACM SIGMOD Record), the reference is given as  "Altair Technical
Report No. 30-89, GIP Altair, Le Chesenay, France".

So, good luck in procuring a copy to everybody out there ...
