During the RT presentation entitled simply "UNIX", Mitch Bishop, UNIX
Product Marketing Manager for RT, announced that RT has no plans to
port the backend of INGRES version 6 to BSD UNIX.  However, Mitch also
announced that RT has agreed to port the 6.2 frontends to BSD UNIX.
The release date for this frontend-only port to BSD is 1st Quarter 1990.

Thanks go to Mitch for orchestrating the BSD port in the three weeks
before and during the IUA meeting.
