-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is released in the hope that others will step forward to improve and
document it.  It does implement a useful subset of the JDBC 1.10 specification
- in particular, enough to do basic table manipulation over Postgres95.

INSTALLATION

Obviously, you've unpacked the archive.

Now, set your classpath to include the JDBC 1.1 kit (available from
http://www.javasoft.com), and compile the postgres95/*.java files. 

You can test your installation by modifying the jptest*.java programs
to reflect your Postgres95 database and usernames, creating the
weather class specified in the Postgres95 documentation, compiling and
running the programs.

TO DO

 - Much of the meta information is an untested hackjob.

 - Cursor support is cursory.

 - This is not precisely excellent documentation.

 - It isn't *really* JDBC compliant, for a host of reasons.

SUMMARY

I regret that I will not be able to provide extensive support for this
package, but I will integrate bug fixes, improvements and DOCUMENTATION
that I receive.

As always, THIS SOFTWARE IS SUPPLIED COMPLETELY "AS IS".  NO WARRANTY...
