* Win32 version of the psql library

I was wondering if there are any plans for porting the psql library to win32? Has anyone tried
doing this? I know there are ODBC implementations but I have a client app already written using
psql and just want to port it over to windows without having to learn all the ODBC internals. Any
information or thoughts on this would be great!
Thanks

I believe that the client has been ported to WIN32 at some point in the
past, perhaps using a Cygnus compatibility library product.

If this is true...does anyone know who did it or when it might be found? i would be curious to hear
from people who might have attempted it and how successful(good or bad) they were!

The most current source code (upcoming v6.4) has #ifdef'd sections
for WIN32, as well as a make file for Microsoft Visual C++5.0 or compat...

What is the expected date of release for the 6.4 of Postgres? Is that the only win32 component that
will be included the 6.4 release?

Oct 1, I believe...Sept 1st is looking like Beta-Freeze, with a
release one month later...
As for the only component...so far as I know, its the only
component that someone has worked on. Unless someone from the Win32 world
works on and submits more, that will most likely be thte only component...

Why not include the (insight's) ODBC driver too ?
Not providing a win16 driver can't be strong enough cause for
exclusion of _the_ win32 connectivity library from the distribution ;)
And I suspect that the JDBC drivers work on Win32 as well.
And as i have heared the tcl-only tcl client, which makes pgaccess also
a
win32 component.
I think the psql library was one of the _last_ client libraries to be
generally known to work under win32 ;)

Ummmm...the insight ODBC driver has been included for the past
several months now, with Bryon having direct CVS access to update it at
will...

They work fine on Win32 - I use it on both Windows 95 and NT4 based
machines here and at work.
I compiled it under Linux, as I tend to use the JRE on the Win32 machines,
as it takes up less room.
