As I see, the interest is growing, I'll promiss to make a real "PORT", thanks to your assistance. My job in bsi.com.br (an internet provider is taking me almost all of my time). May be in 1 week or later a "port" will be in "place". I am not trying to do just an ingres database that works, it is almost ready, a set of examples on how to work with it using the equel language (building a customer system that manages and prints customer information) stored in a ingres database with the help of a curses/panel library.
