Postgres is available by contacting me (wensel@postgres.berkeley.edu or
415-642-4662).  Right now we have a limited number of sites that
are using our "beta" version.  The official first version will be
available shortly, either by FTP or purchasing a tape from us for
a small handling fee.   POSTGRES currently runs on Sun Workstations
with at least 8 megabytes of memory running Sun OS 3.4 or 3.5
with shared segments compiled into the kernel.  It also requires Franz
Lisp Opus 43 and at least 20 megabytes of disk space to hold source,
binaries, and user databases.  If you want me more details, please
contact me.
