******* Translation begin ***********
The current version allows for:
 1 draw tables.
  including
   - restoring previous state
   - copying to the local application buffer
   - pasting from the buffer
   - editing the table field types
   - and also some more stuff

 2 link fields (constraints)
   - FOREIGN KEY  |--> PRIMARY KEY

 3 generate SQL file from the given structure
   - for Postgres95 (w/out constrains)
   - for Informix ( with constraints)

 4 there is a request broker using protocol independent of DB
  1 for Informix (tested with HP-UX and Informix 7.20)
  2 for PostgreSQL 
 5 generates a visual DB repsentation from a DB. 
   (except references (takes time))

Plans:
 3 create new DBs through the broker and fill them with tables
 4 alter existing tables through broker
 5 generate GCI script according to the struture
 6 ctreate additional SQL generators for other DBMS
 7 fix the interface
