University Ingres is available from postgres.berkeley.edu via anonymous FTP.
It is the distant ancestor of ASK/Ingres/RTI Ingres.  The code itself can
answer your other questions.

Anyway, we at the Postgres project would much rather you got Postgres, which
does far more than University Ingres, _and_ we are willing to answer questions
about it :-)  NOTE: they are _not_ compatible.

PS: Postgres is also available from postgres.berkeley.edu
