I would like to know if there is a possiblity of writing a 
program (interfaced to libpq) which creates a header like the
one above and then uses the postgres's "retrieve (tutorial.all)"
to retrieve out the tuples in tutorial table one by one .. ?

Also is this retrieve going to automatically invoke the I/O
(overloaded) functions from the circle.c file ??
(just making sure that retrieve on complex objects from
programs interacting with the libpq works as it works from
the frontend) .. (hey don't make that face, I am new to this !)

Bruce!
