<TT

absolutely necessary.
If this file is installed using a setup program, then it should
be installed with version checking using the
<TT

>VERSIONINFO</TT

ensure that a newer version of the library is not overwritten.

<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>src\interfaces\libpq</TT

tree to the include path in your compiler's settings.
</P

> To use the library, you must add the
