I think this message can be deleted.

There is a port of client libraries using MS development tools. We are
working on a port of the whole Postgres 6.4.x using the Cygwin tools. Joost
have already send to this list (on Dec 7 1998) a description how to succeed.

Hi, Dan,

Good job! According to Joost's postgres installation procedures, and your help,
I have already installed Postgres on WinNT successfully. I also wrote
installation procedures for Chinese version which describes how I installed,
and put it on my home page, see

http://members.tripod.com/~kevlo/postgres/postgresinstall.txt

So if you are a chinese, maybe this is a good info.

Best regards,
Kevin.

Hal, is there a place on the Postgres web site for non-English
documentation resources? Or just a related links area? It looks like
this would be a good one for that.
