Add short chapter in developer's guide on formatting source code.

Revision 1.20  1999/12/06 16:37:11  thomas

Complete merge of all old man page information.
lisp.sgml is a placeholder for Eric Marsden's upcoming contribution.

Add chapters on CVS access, MVCC, SQL theory to the docs.
Add an appendix with more details on date/time attributes and handling.
Update most references to Postgres version numbers to 6.5,
 *except* for the porting list which will require a report
 from a successful installation to be updated.

Revision 1.12  1999/02/13 03:54:51  thomas
Re-enable arch-dev.sgml now that it has new information from Stefan's
 Master's Thesis.

Cleanup for v6.4 release.
Make new file current.sgml to hold release info for the current release.

  <para>
   <productname>Postgres</productname>, 
   developed originally in the UC Berkeley Computer Science Department,
   pioneered many of the object-relational concepts
   now becoming available in some commercial databases.
   It provides SQL92/SQL3 language support,
   transaction integrity, and type extensibility.
   <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> is an 
   open-source descendant of this original Berkeley code.
