	I don't know about public domain Ingres;  I didn't know such
	existed.  However, I have ported Berkeley VAX Ingres onto a
	680X0 machine similar to the Sun (the Valid S32), successfully.
	So far as I know, it is currently in use there.  It being on
	the other side of the country, I don't have any way of telling
	which version it was that I ported.

	Status:  stable, but wretched to port.

	No idea.

	Is there really P.D. Ingres?  If so, how does it stand up to
	Berkeley Ingres?  To (ha-ha) RTI?
