I'm not sure what it would take to make libpgtcl run on either of
those platforms... NT might not be hard, but Mac could be.

At least in the short run, you'd be better off using a pure-Tcl
implementation of the PostgreSQL query protocol.  Recent discussion
here alleged

: ... but there is a tcl script equivalent
: of libpgtcl.so which is called pgsql.tcl. It is available from the same
: site that you get pgaccess

I have not chased down this reference but you may care to try it.
(There is a link to pgaccess on the PostgreSQL web site.)
