You'll be happy to know that, after fixing the Makefiles and adding
'-lcrypt' to the LD_FLAGS_SL flag in the libpq makefile, pgaccess is now
working on my Red Hat 5.0 system.  I can put up the precise steps I needed
to take to run this fix later tonight.  I did a clean compile from
scratch, and everything is where it is supposed to.  Now I just need to
play with it.

I like the fact I can talk to the developer of the software.  How many
people have been able to talk directly to a developer of, say,
MS-Access?  This is what makes open source software the best bang for the
buck, in my book.
