I currently trying to get it running on a nt box.
So far I've downloaded the postgress tar.gz file at
ftp://ftp.nl.uu.net/pub/unix/db/postgresql/binary/v7.0/NT/
and when trying to run postgres a complaint of a missing
cywin1.dll occured.
the dll can be found in the cygwin-1.3.1-1.tar.gz package on
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/late
st/cygwin/
or some other mirror site
Now I've got complaints about databases which don't exist.
So far that's all what I needed of cygwin
