There is a port of client libraries using MS development tools. We are working on a port of the whole Postgres 6.4.x using the Cygwin tools. Joost have already send to this list (on Dec 7 1998) a description how to succeed. Dan

According to Joost's postgres installation procedures, and your help, I have already installed Postgres on WinNT successfully. I also wrote installation procedures for Chinese version which describes how I installed, and put it on my home page, see http://members.tripod.com/~kevlo/postgres/postgresinstall.txt So if you are a chinese, maybe this is a good info. Best regards, Kevin.

Hal, is there a place on the Postgres web site for non-English documentation resources? Or just a related links area? It looks like this would be a good one for that. - Tom
