I have moved the MinGW/Win32 project page into FAQ_MINGW in CVS. I updated it to be more of an FAQ than a project page, and moved the TODO items the proper places in our official project. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Treat wrote: > On Tuesday 21 September 2004 04:35, Magnus Hagander wrote: > > > > When starting the Windows psql client I get a warning that the > > > > "console codepage (437) differs from the windows codepage > > > > > > (1252)" and > > > > > > > to see installation on Windows for details.
