+<h1>PgAccess - Introduction</h1>
+<a name="whatpga"><h2>What is PgAccess?</h2>
+PgAccess is a graphical user interface for the PostgreSQL database management
+system written in the Tcl/Tk scripting language by Constantin Teodorescu. It
+allows the user to interact with PostgreSQL in a manner similar to many PC
+database applications, with menu choices and graphical tools like buttons.
+This means that the user can avoid the basic command line interface for most
+common tasks. PgAccess doesn't change the way PostgreSQL operates, just makes
+it easier to use for those familiar with graphical interfaces.<p>
+Obviously, you <u>must</u> have PostgreSQL installed and running, and Tcl/Tk on
+your system before you can use PgAccess.<p>
+PgAccess is an "open source" application. The source code is available to the
+user, and may be modified by the user. The user can fix a bug, or change the
+way a function operates. You may not want to get that involved with the
+programming, but you have the option to do so. If you feel you have made an
+improvement to the program, you are encouraged to share it with other users.<p>
+If you are not familiar with how open source software can be altered and
+redistributed, please read <a href="copyright.html">this</a>.<p>
