Version 2, release 0 of POSTGRES is now available for distribution. It
is known to run on Versions 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, or 4.0 of SUN OS for Sun 3/xxx
class machines, on DECstation 3100 machines, on Sparcstations, and on Sequent
Symmetry machines. Postgres consists of about 180,000 lines of C.
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:

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 net by typing
the following bracketed text without brackets. You
