Many bugfixes and cosmetic changes
Changes by Scrappy and me
My additional changes:
- had to link libpgtcl.so with the crypt library to get rid of the
pgaccess error message, that crypt is missing
- had to add -i option in the startup script, so that pgaccess is
able to connect to the postmaster process
- removed all unnecessary patches
- updated PLIST
Thanks to the postgresql developement team, who did a great job to
simplify the postgresql port, by applying the patches and making
the autoconf mechanism more consistent.

Now, I know you tested it (who doesn't? :), Andreas, but you need to
test it *twice* with a "make deinstall" in between, or you may not
catch files that were left from the previous installation (as it was
in this case).
the bug-gnats mailing list. There are a ton of bugfixes and
some good new features (like user defined states).
I should have used the makefile's patch code to deal with this,
but the patches had differning formats and there were order dependancies,
so I built these patch ffiles by hand.

Subject: Bug in PgAccess 0.7x , fixed in 0.73 !
Hello all,
recently Dave Chapeskie has discovered a bug in visual query builder,
when deleting table or links! This was due to last changed in source
code made in order to allow table aliasing.
All previously released 0.7x versions of PgAccess are buggy from this
point of view!
I have released today the 0.73 version that fixes it! Please use the new
versions and keep me informed !!!
This new version is also using a drop-down-like combo for choosing
tables in visual query builder! I will probably use it in other places
in order to enhance PgAccess.
Thanks again for testing PgAccess.
from the author:
"I started to write at the Reports module.
from a table, no filters, no sorts (yet) !
Of course, no prints ! Only fields in output report (no labels, lines or
rectangles)!
I am working now at region resizing (page header, footer, detail, etc)
Reports will be generated as Postscript file!
stay close ..."
Update to version 0.70
From his announcement:
> PgAccess v0.70 handles now user defined forms and scripts!
>
> Manipulating forms, PgAccess could be enhanced by the user in order to
> generate new applications.
> The powerfull scripting feature inherited from Tcl/Tk, the native
> environment of PgAccess, allow users to define and use new procedures,
> libraries and even call "system" procedures that I have been used
> writting PgAccess. I would say that PgAccess will be able to accept
> "plugin" modules in order to make him more powerfull. It will make him
> just a "shell" who will set up only a "working environment" for newly
> developed applications!!!!
