I would say that not supporting those who have an inability to read documentation would count as "inferior Windows support." :-) What I'm hearing here is that all we really need to do to "compete" with MySQL on Windows is to make the UI a bit slicker. So what's the problem with someone building, for each release, a set of appropriate binaries, and someone making a slick install program that will install postgres, install parts of cygwin if necessary, and set up postgres as a service? cjs -- Curt Sampson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're all light. --XTC ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
