Make it clear that we support Windows 2000 and newer with the native port, instead of first saying we support NT4 and then saying we don't. --------------------------- The web page ( http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows ) does not say that pginstaller is suspended (yet). It's just that - as far as I know - the clusters initialized by the one-click installer and pginstaller are incompatible with each other (timestamp). So a whole pg_dump/pg_restore session for each 'pginstaller' server would be necessary in order to update to a newer 'one-click only' minor version ... So ... is pginstaller dead or just delayed this time? Could you tell me, please? Thank you very much, Peter -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
