This is a ridiculously brief doc file for pgtk.

WHAT IT IS:
   PGTK is a programmable replacement for the Postgres monitor
program, using John Ousterhout's tcl/tk libraries to provide
the interpretive "programming environment" and libpq for
Postgres access.  

Caveat: This is still under development, but has some nice features
like letting you use the TK library to build X interfaces that
interact with Postgres.

What's here:
pgtk.c is the program that links up libpq and tcl/tk. It defines
tcl "wrappers" for libpq functions, and opens up an empty TK 
window, and leaves a tcl command prompt in the shell you started it
from. 

c.h is a slightly fiddled version of Postgres' c.h, there were some
type clashes in combining the two libraries.

pgtk.init is a sample tcl/tk program for pgtk. It's not too pretty
yet, but eventually I plan to make it a default startup script for
pgtk.

Makefile: makes pgtk  [ You will of course need to massage this -mer ].

~/.PGTKrc: rc file for this package [ Mine is empty -mer ].

If you don't have tcl/tk, you can get it via anonymous ftp from
sprite.berkeley.edu
