hi paul,
 
i have sent you the diff of my port of postgres-v4r2 on freebsd
by mail and by a file transfered to tr-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu
at pub/upload
 
porting involve:
1) use of gnuregexp,
2) use of flex in place of lex
3) immitation of dynloader of SUN
with 1) and 2) immitating port of linux by "kai"
 
while there's very likely a change to "change acl", and the
.../src/backend/parser/gram.y of CHANGE ACL statement is
parculiar to me, i've not port that portion of code.
 
as mentioned by my last message, i'm paticularly interest
in developing "photo-base" application.  however, i tried
in vain in locating example codes in the area.
 
problem is:  how a photo-type is related to storage of the
attribute as a large object.  sample code of "point" using
"{x,y,radius}" is read through, and that make me appear to
be more stupid as i can't relate that to a photo-widget
as developed by tcl, nor the canvas widget.
 
kindly acknowledge receipt and some pointers to where i should
start.
 
thanks,
 
clarence chu
