[..one for the bug..] I would like to propose the formation of a new newsgroup net.rtingres to be used for the discussion of experiences and problems with the ingres database system sold by Relational Technology Inc. I will look for comments in net.news.group. If the response is favorable perhaps someone out there more powerful than I could create it for us. Douglas Manatt Lawrence Livermore Lab (415) 422-7257

I think perhaps a mailing list would work better for this sort of thing. not *that* many people are likely to be using rtingres, so I doubt a whole newsgroup is justified. But a mailing list might make a good deal of sense. -- James Steven Carrington The INGRES Project jsc@berkeley.arpa ucbvax!jsc

I like the idea.

It's true that the net has had very little traffic conserning ingres problems. Most of the traffic relates to people finding or thinking they have found bugs. I think it would not be wise to limit the discussion to RTI Ingres. There are many sites with the university version who could add to the group. I don't think there is enough traffic to warrent a group, but is there enough disintrest to warrent a mailing list? If someone want to discuss the matter, why not use this group? Of course, if you are running the VMS version, use should not be interested in net.unix. We all know the anything other then UNIX is repulsive to the nature of computing. (-: -- C knows no bounds.

Net.rtingres is probably a little to limited in it applicability. More useful would be net.dbm, or something like that. Then users of Mistress (tm), Unify (tm), and a several other database programs would be able to discuss topics of common or perhaps program-specific interest. -Peter Yee ..ucbvax!yee yee@Berkeley.ARPA
