   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.
