     Version 1, release 2 of POSTGRES is now  available  for
distribution.   It  runs on Versions 3.4, 3.5, or 3.6 of SUN
OS for Sun 3/xxx  class  machines  and  on  DECstation  3100
machines.   The  Lisp  code has been entirely converted to C
and POSTGRES  now consists of about 150,000 lines of C code.

     If you would like the current system, you can get it in
one of two ways:

(1)  Send a check payable to the Regents of  the  University
     of California for $150.00 to:

         Sharon Wensel
         521 Evans Hall
         University of California
         Berkeley, CA 94720.

     Indicate in your accompanying letter whether  you  want
     the  system on a 9-track tape at 1600 BPI, at 6250 BPI,
     on a cartridge tape for SUN shoeboxes (QIC 24  format),
     or on a TK50 DEC cartridge tape.

(2)  FTP the code to your site over the ARPA net  by  typing
     the  following  bracketed  text  without brackets.  You
     should see similar output.

         % [ ftp 128.32.149.1 ]  # or ftp postgres.berkeley.edu
