Hi Jason,

Now THATīs good news! *phew*
Ok I didnīt doubt it could, just asked myself if anyone still uses this OS (Old
System) and hence care for....

Hm, well this would be no problem - if I _knew_ what is wrong?
And, I wouldnīt suspect somethingīs broken as I *just* installed cygwin from the
internet (means updated - I hope update is ok, downloading everything twice
would be no fun with isdn...)
Well I could try it again but Iīm - however - convinced that would be the same
again, I didnīt change anything except putting the cygwin path in the PATH
variable....
Itīs just strange that the scripts donīt work, as if the environment
"disappears" or whatever  when starting a script....

But, eitherway, could you tell me if Postgresql will work on 98 (for me itīs a
test/db-design period, no production use...) or if itīs not recommended since
Iīve read that NT, W2K & XP are the only _supported_ platforms, and W98 isnīt
but it may work.......?

Thanks for help!

Tom
