PGAccess is still evolving, but is definitely usable. I have here a experimental starkit file, which has all of PGAccess's source code wrapped up into one executable. It is what's called a starkit which utilizes a tclkit. Basically, the tclkit is the tcl interpreter, plus some other extensions, wrapped into a single executable, and the starkit is your application wrapped up into one executable. The tclkit is platform dependant, but the starkit (in most cases) is platform independant.
Here is what you need to do in order to run it:
  1. Get a tclkit for your platform here (use the latest release -- 8.4.2 at the time of this writing)
  2. Download, and rename the file "tclkit" ("tclkit.exe" for windows).
  3. Download the pgaccess starkit
  4. For windows, you will need to make a file association for .kit extension to the tclkit.exe program.
  5. Thanks to Chris Maj, you don't need to specify the library to use. So, for Windows, you can type in:
    c:\path\to\tclkit.exe c:\path\to\pgaccess.kit -pgintcl
    Or you can just associate that file to tclkit.exe
  6. For linux, if tclkit is in your path, then you should be able to just execute the starkit:
    pgaccess.kit
Note: I don't have a Mac machine :( , so I don't know what exactly you need to do, but you probably can figure it out from the above.
