I have two answers to your question: Answer 1) Might your application work with pgin.tcl? This is my pure-Tcl interface to PostgreSQL. Within its limitations, it is command-compatible with libpgtcl, though slower. As it is all in Tcl, it doesn't require libpq or any compilation. If your tksql works with pgin.tcl, you won't need any libraries, and your application should run anywhere Tcl exists. You can find it at http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgintcl/ Note: pgintcl-1.5.0 is the older version for PostgreSQL-7.3 (also talks to 7.4, but without the new features.) The new pgintcl-2.0.0 for PostgreSQL-7.4 and up will be on Gborg real soon; only a beta pgintcl-2.0b1 is there now. Answer 2) I have built Windows DLLs for libpq and my own version of libpgtcl, using Borland C, for use with ActiveState ActiveTcl-8.4.5 and PostgreSQL-7.4.1. But they can't be downloaded anywhere yet. I offered to take over the libpgtcl project on Gborg http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgtcl/ which seems dormant, and make a release including Windows DLLs, but I was told the current admins don't want to give it up. I haven't decided whether to join their project, fork my own project, or just keep my version for myself.
