PostgreSQL windows port is work in progress, but not yet finished. It is possible to run it with cygwin, but with that I have no experience.

Postgresql doesn't have native support for Windows just yet, and the support it does have is via a program called cygwin. For Win98 you're probably outta luck. If you have a spare box you can toss linux onto you could be up and running in an hour or less, as Postgresql comes with most Linux distros and you just have to install it from the packages that come with your distro.
