Original-posting-by: kemnitz@postgres.uucp (Greg Kemnitz) Original-subject: Postgres Version 1.3 Now Available Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) The newest version of the Postgres DBMS is now available for anonymous FTP from postgres.berkeley.edu (i-net address 128.32.149.1). The newest version features several new ports and better portability in general. Ports in the distribution include well-tested ports for DECstation 3100's running Ultrix 2.7 and Sun 3's running SunOS 3.5. Other ports in the distribution include a SunOS 4.0 port for Sun 3's, a Sparcstation port, and a Sequent Symmetry port. Improvements over Version 1.2 include better locking, some fixes to the access methods, and better installation procedures. Additionally, non-portable code has been reduced to a minimum. To get Postgres: 1. Run FTP to postgres.berkeley.edu or 128.32.149.1 2. Log in as "anonymous" 3. Type your login ID as password 4. cd into the /pub directory 5. Get postgres-setup.me 6. Set BINARY transfer mode 7. Get postgres-v1r3.tar.Z The compressed tar file is about 2.5 Megs. When compiled, the Postgres tree is around 45 megabytes. Instructions on how to order Postgres if you do not have FTP access will be posted early next week. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Kemnitz | "I ran out of the room - I Postgres Chief Programmer | didn't want to be killed by a pile kemnitz@postgres.berkeley.edu | of ULTRIX manuals" :-) | | --A friend at DEC Palo Alto in the Quake
