Always use the newest available Version that supports Postgres (-> this definitely is true for windoze clients). I currently use 8.3.3.2 from ActiveState http://tcl.activestate.com/software/tcltk/8.3.html But - what clients and what server do you use? On Linux every Tcl/Tk should work. On the server you will only need it build the librarie libpgtcl.so (I think). With this library you should be able to access Postgres from any linux client with the same Tcl/Tk you used for compilation. On windoze clients I only use precompiled binaries (see link above). The point is, that every Tcl/Tk version needs it's own libpgtcl.dll and this one is not available for every Tcl/Tk version :-(. On the other hand there should be no problem using any Tcl/Tk with a matching libpgtcl.dll to access a postgres server (the network protocol didn't change as far as I know). Does anyone knows a bit more about that ?? Hope this helps Andreas
Tcl/Tk should run out of the box. Just download it, click on it and follow the instructions. Any version above 8.0 should do. Try the latest. You should install Tcl/Tk on the machine where you will run the pgaccess.

The libraries are included in the pgaccess download. Their names include the versions they are for. You need to edit their names in order to remove the version information. Iavor -- www.pgaccess.org
