Were we at the same conference?  At the conference that *I* attended a
decision was reached and announced that INGRES front ends and
INGRES/Net will be supported on BSD Unix on VAXes.  Front and back
ends will be supported on BSD derived systems such as Ultrix and
SunOS.

New Orleans was a lot of fun, and most of us indulged in the local
color and flavor, but some of us managed to get the correct
information about RTI's products and plans and bring it back to our
sponsors.
