   There is a /pub/non-unix on the ftp server, which now only contains "os2".
   Perhaps create a subdir for "win32" in there, or something?
   I'll be working on the binaries soon. Where should I put them once done?
   Mail to you, or somebody? Can't find any incoming directory on the ftp...
   No idea to put in anything in the docs before we can say where it is
   located...

   OK, Marc, do you have a preferred layout for where various kinds of
   binaries or other distribution packages should go?
   
   Right now there is:
   
     bindist - Solaris v6.3 binaries
     non-unix/os2 - OS2 v6.3 client-side binaries
     odbc - win32 odbc source and binaries

   Magnus is building some WIN32 client-side binaries and needs a place to
   put them.
   
   So I just created:
     doc - tar files of daily builds of current html documentation
     .incoming - world-writable file dropoff
   
   I have no write privileges in /pub/non-unix, so could not add a win32
   directory. Also, I noticed that there are still some ".old" directories
   in /home/projects/pgsql/ftp/www/html/docs, which I had renamed a long
   time ago since I did not have delete privileges for the original
   directories and files but was able to rename them. These should be
   deleted.
   
   Anyway, let me know what you would prefer, and if you want me to set it
   up perhaps you can chmod/chown the ftp and html/docs directories to
   allow me to make the changes.
   
   TIA
