Hi, all. I just wanted to give you an update on where my company (PeerDirect) is with regards to our native Windows port.
We are planning on contributing the code for the native port sometime next month (in December). We would have liked to contribute it earlier, but our work schedules here didn't allow it. The state of the port is that it passes all postgres regression tests. It's been in BETA since early August with about 27 beta customers. The beta customers came from a post made to the cygwin mailing list (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-08/msg00012.php). The BETA has proven successful and several problems were found and fixed. At this point you are welcome to run the latest version of this BETA. There is no installer, but there is a setenv.bat script to help setup the environment. The beta can be downloaded at: ftp://209.61.187.152/postgres/postgres_beta4.zip This version has its own catalog version which is slightly different than 7.2.1, so you'll need to do a pg_dump and pg_restore. If you find any issues, please don't mail me directly. Instead, please send emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Several people monitor this address and the issue will get resolved more quickly. There is still some cleanup work to do, such as migrating from 7.2.1 to 7.4, but my company is committed to contributing this port to the community by the end of the year.
