You're right. I really like pgAdmin, I saw the snapshots, impressive,
just it can't be used on Unix platforms. The Tcl/Tk offers the ability
to run PgAccess also on win32 machines as well as Unix ones.

I will "steal" some ideas from Dave's work, making PgAccess better and
tried to "polish" it further. Just that I don't have too much free time.

I am preparing now a new release of PgAccess, completely redesigned
internally, that will offer to developers some sort of PgAccess API in
order to deliver a good environment for building small applications.

Best regards,
