4.3BSD/usr/ingres/bin/READ_ME
.../bin
This directory holds the system binaries. Generally, copies of the
directly executable stuff (e.g., ingres, printr, etc.) are here, plus
a set of programs that are only used internally (ksort, monitor, etc.).
It is CRITICAL that file modes are correct in this directory. Here
is an "ls -l" from our system. Note: you may not have all of these
programs, since some may not be applicable to your release. The truly
critical programs are marked with an asterisk. The ones that should
be installed in user-available directories are marked with a plus.
