- The 6.3 IPM is in the SIG directory, and has some bugs. In 6.4,
- IPM became a fully supported Ingres product and was moved to the
- bin directory. Also, as of 6.4 there is a real IPM Manual, help files,
- far fewer bugs, and many improvements.
-
- We've had some bug reports on IPM, and it (almost) always turns out
- to be a case of someone running the 6.3 IPM against a 6.4 server.
- IPM is very sensitive to server version, even the 6.3/02 IPM crashed
- when running against a 6.3/01 server.
-
- Anyway, 6.4 is a great release, and IPM is just one more motivation
- for upgrading.
