We wanted to have capabilities that PGMonitor provides, in PGAccess. So, we asked Bruce if we could just integrate PGMonitor, and he said yes. To me, it makes sense. Of course you can argue forever on which is better: one big app that contains all the functionality, or several small apps that spread the functionality (ala unix utils). You will get valid arguments on both sides...it is more of a preference thing I believe. Currently, I am integrating it into PGAccess, and I did have to make some modifications for it to work (sorry Bruce...not too many though). However, it is my intention to make this more of a plugin, and also be able to run standalone. So, if you *don't* want PGMonitor, then you don't have to have it, but you will also be able to call PGMonitor by itself (I really haven't decided on a best method yet). So, to answer your question, in the future, you will be able to use PGMonitor standalone. I assumed this from the beginning, since existing users of PGMonitor may not want to use PGAccess (like yourself). --brett > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command > (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- Brett Schwarz brett_schwarz AT yahoo.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
