On-line Training Materials for INGRES
     =====================================

     INGRES is a powerful and complex relational database management
     system.

     It is well recognised that specialised training is needed for
     those staff and students who need to use it.

     The major objectives of the 'On-line Training Materials for
     INGRES' project were:

        to develop a set of training materials for the INGRES
        relational database management system (the 'INGRES Training
        Series') to enable staff and students to 'teach themselves'
        INGRES, and

        to develop an Information Server which would host a variety of
        different training materials suitable for on-line use,
        including the INGRES Training Series.

     These objectives have now been met, and the server and associated
     material are now in the final stages of completion.  The server
     uses advanced communications technology, and INGRES material is
     available via several TCP/IP services, namely TELNET, Gopher and
     World Wide Web (WWW).

     You can access the server from the Lancaster University
     Information Service. Alternatively, you can access the server
     directly using a WWW client program. Specify the Uniform Resource
     Locator (URL) as:-

     This project is the first to use the 'information superhighway'
     to deliver training materials.
