			README for DBBrowser

DBBrowser is a graphical interface for Postgres95. It uses XForms
library to make life with favorite data base system less painful.

This is beta version. It wasn't tested well. In fact it was compiled only
on my own computer:
  Pentium running Linux v. 2.0.30, mixed Slackware-RedHat-Debian distribution.

Next version should not only be bug-fixed, but also a lot of new features
may be added.

You don't have to pay for DBBrowser, but if you like it you can send me
an email or a postcard. It would be nice to hear that someone is using it.
If you like it very much you can even sand me some money (sometimes I suffer
from lack of motivations).

II. INSTALLATION

DBBrowser need GCC, libg++ and XForms library to compile. It was only tested
on my own computer so some changes may be necessary. For Linux however
every thing should work fine.

To compile just run make. If it doesn't work try to change makefile and/or
source files (I hope it won't be necessary).

To install type 'make install' it will copy executable and man page to
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/man.

III. USAGE

I think I don't have to explain, but if you have any doubts see manual page.

IV. BUG REPORTING

If you find any bug, please send me a report explaining it and what where
you doing, when it came out. If you have repaired it yourself please send
me a patch.

You can also send me a patch if you have ported DBBrowser to other operating
or database system.

V. TO DO

  - fix all known and not known bugs
  - improve query result window
  - improve custom query window
  - add macro-queries (predefined SQL commands accessible from menu)
  - add report generator
  - add large object support (multimedia?)
  - add time travel support
