+Postgres95 is an enhancement of the POSTGRES database management system, a
+next-generation DBMS research prototype.  While Postgres95 retains the
+powerful data model and rich data types of POSTGRES, it replaces the
+PostQuel query language with an extended subset of SQL.  Postgres95 is free
+and the complete source is available.
+
+Postgres95 development is being performed by a team of Internet developers
+who all subscribe to the Postgres95 development mailing list.  The current
+coordinator is Marc G. Fournier (scrappy@ki.net).  This team is now
+responsible for all current and future development of Postgres95.
+
+The authors of Postgres95 1.01 were Andrew Yu and Jolly Chen. Many others
+have contributed to the porting, testing, debugging and enhancement of the
+code.  The original Postgres code, from which Postgres95 is derived, was the
+effort of many graduate students, undergraduate students, and staff
+programmers working under the direction of Professor Michael Stonebraker at
+the University of California, Berkeley.
