 #### Build and Install PDAL ####
 
-Support for PostgreSQL Pointcloud in PDAL is currently brand-new and will have to be [built from source](http://www.pointcloud.org/compilation/index.html). The PostgresSQL Pointcloud driver uses the "soci" module for database read/write, which can be difficult to compile. Future versions will convert to using the `libpq` PostgreSQL client libraries directly, for a simpler install.
+Support for PostgreSQL Pointcloud has been added to PDAL. It is in most recent builds, but if you want the latest version, you can [build from source](http://www.pointcloud.org/compilation/index.html). 
 
 First, you will need to install the many, many dependencies of PDAL.
 
  - Read the compilation instructions: http://www.pointcloud.org/compilation/index.html
  - Read the dependency information: http://www.pointcloud.org/compilation/dependencies.html
- - Install the "boost" package if your system has one
- - Install the "soci" add-on for boost, and ensure the PgSQL plug-in is built: http://soci.sourceforge.net/
  - Install the "proj4" library: https://trac.osgeo.org/proj/
  - Install the "geos" library: https://trac.osgeo.org/geos/
  - Install the "geotiff" library: http://trac.osgeo.org/geotiff/
  - Install the "gdal" library: http://gdal.org/
  - Install the "liblas" library: http://liblas.org/
 
-Then, clone the Pointcloud PDAL repository, that contains the latest version of the Pointcloud driver for PDAL (as well as the latest version of PDAL itself):

 #### Running `pcpipeline` ####
 
-PDAL includes a limited command-line program, `pc2pc` that does simple transformations, but in order to load data into Pointcloud we use a "PDAL pipeline". A pipeline combines a format reader, and format writer, with filters that can alter or group the points together.
+PDAL includes a `command linen program <http://www.pointcloud.org/apps.html>`_ that allows both simple format translations and more complex "pipelines" of transformation.  The `pdal translate` does simple format transformations. In order to load data into Pointcloud we use a "PDAL pipeline", by calling `pdal pipeline`. A pipeline combines a format reader, and format writer, with filters that can alter or group the points together.
 
 PDAL pipelines are XML files, which nest together readers, filters, and writers into a processing chain that will be applied to the LIDAR data. 
 
 To execute a pipeline file, run it through the `pcpipeline` command:
 
-    pcpipeline pipelinefile.xml
+    pdal pipeline --input pipelinefile.xml
