What is this, a troll? We gave that project quite a lot of support. My recollection is that we lost interest somewhere around here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2002-08/msg00278.php when it became clear that Netware couldn't or wouldn't try to arrange their code to keep the amount of platform-specific stuff reasonable. The patch as they were proposing it would have been completely unmaintainable --- certainly so for the community, probably for them too. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
