    According to the INGRES Corp. press release dated 4/25 announcing their
    Q3 revenues and earnings, there is mention of a proposed minority
    equity investment and broader technology and business partnership
    with Digital Equipment Corp. 
    
    Could anyone elaborate on our equity investment & enhanced business/
    technology partnership?

    According to a front page story in the June 18, 1990 issue of Digital
    Review, the potential investment in Ingres has fallen through.  "The
    companies were unable to agree on a strengthened alliance that was
    consistant with our respective strategies," said Paul E. Newton, 
    Ingres' president & CEO.  The two sides were unable to resolve how the
    market would percieve the relationship, Newton said.
