+PGACCESS 0.96 9 March 1999
+================================
+I dedicate this program to my little daughters Ana-Maria and Emilia and to my
+wife for their understanding. I hope they will forgive me for spending so many
+time far from them.
+
+
+
+1.Why PgAccess ?
+
+First of all because PostgreSQL lacks a graphical interface where you
+can manage your tables, edit them, define queries, sequences and
+functions.
+
+
+
+2.How to INSTALL ?
+
+You will need Tcl/Tk package, I am using now Tcl 7.6 and Tk 4.2.
+PgAccess is running fine also on Tcl/Tk 8.0
+
+Also, you will need the PostgreSQL to Tcl interface library, lined as a
+Tcl/Tk 'load'-able module.  It is called libpgtcl and the source is
+located in the PostgreSQL directory /src/interfaces/libpgtcl. 
+Specifically, you will need a libpgtcl library that is 'load'-able from
+Tcl/Tk.  This is technically different from an ordinary PostgreSQL
+loadable object file, because libpgtcl is a collection of object files.
+
+Under Linux, this is called libpgtcl.so.  You will find a pre-compiled
+copy of it for Linux i386 systems at : http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess. 
+Just copy libpgtcl.so into your system library directory /usr/lib or
+/lib and go for it.
+
+Under Windows, copy libpgtcl.dll and libpq.dll into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
+Make sure you have Tcl/Tk at least version 8.0.0 for Microsoft Windows 95 & NT.
+PgAccess has been checked with Tcl/Tk 8.0.4 version on Windows95 and Windows98
+platforms.
+
+Tcl/Tk 8.0.4 for Windows95 & NT can be downloaded from 
+ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_0/tcl804.exe
+It is 1833712 bytes long.
+
+
+3.How to run it?
+
+You run it with the command:
+
+        wish -f pgaccess.tcl [database]
+
+[database] is optional.
+
+Another way of loading the PostgreSQL library is running it with pgwish.
+It's a wish compiled with libpgtcl library so it could understand the
+commands for working with PostgreSQL. For this, remove the line "load
+libpgtcl.so" from the source.  If your operating system has a different
+library name or location, change the 'load libpgtcl.so' line in the
+pgaccess.tcl file.
+
+
+4.What does it now ?
+
+- Opens any database on a specified host at the specified port, username and password
+- Perform vacuum command.
+- Saves preferences in ~/.pgaccessrc file
+
+Tables
+- opening multiple tables for viewing, max n records (configurable)
+- column resizing by dragging the vertical grid lines
+- text will wrap in cells now
+- dynamic row height when editing
+- table layout saved for every table
+- import/export to external files (SDF,CSV)
+- filter capabilities ,enter filter like price>3.14
+- sort order capabilities ,enter manually the sort field(s)
+- editing in place, double click the text you want to change
+- record deleting , point the record, press Del key
+- adding new records ,save new row with right-button-click on table for the moment
+- table generator assistant
+- table renaming and deleting (dropping)
+- table information retrieving : owner, field information, indexes
+
+Queries
+- define, edit and store "user defined queries"
+- save view layout
+- can store queries as views
+- execution of queries  with optional user input parameters ( select * from invoices where year=[parameter "Year of selection"] )
+- viewing of select type queries result
+- running action queries (insert, update, delete)
+- visual query builder with drag & drop support, table aliasing
+
+Sequences
+- define
+- inspect
+- delete
+
+Views
+- defining them saving queries as views
+- view them , with filtering and sorting capabilities
+- design views
+- delete them
+
+Functions
+- define , inspect , delete
+
+Reports
+- simple reports from a table (beta stage)
+- change font,size and style of fields and labels
+- load and save reports from the database
+- table previews, sample postscript print
+
+Forms
+- open user defined forms
+- form design module available
+- query widget allowing access to a record set
+
+Scripts
+- define, modify and call user defined scripts
+
+5.What it should do in the future ?
+
+- sequence and function renaming
+- more powerful report generator and viewer
+- help on line
+
+
+
+6. How you should report the errors?
+First of all : operating system, PostgreSQL version,Tcl/Tk version.
+A more detailed story of what have you done when error had occurred.
+Tcl/Tk stops usually with a error message and there is a button there
+"Stack Trace" and if you press it, you will see a detailed information
+about the place where it stuck. Please send it to me.
+Some information about table structure, no. of fields, records would
+be also good.

+that will help to improve it.

+PgAccess 0.93 patch to make it work with PostgreSQL 6.3.x
+<hr WIDTH="100%"></h1>
+
+<p><br>PgAccess 0.93 is working fine with PostgreSQL 6.4.x due to some
+changes in libpgtcl !
+<p>There is a small patch that you have to make in order to make it work
+with 6.3.x !
+<p>Replace in procedure <tt>wpg_exec</tt> the following line:
+<p><tt>set pgsql(errmsg) [pg_result $pgsql(res) -error]</tt>
+<p>with this one :
+<p><tt>set pgsql(errmsg) "NO ERROR INFORMATION SUPPLIED"</tt>
+<p>And it will work fine! In some error cases, you will not get the appropriate
+error message from libpgtcl.
