Can anyone comment on the status of point-in-time recovery (PITR?)  I  
am looking to move an application over to PostgreSQL onto a Mac (I'll  
try to avoid the divide-by-zero issue :-) ) and PITR would really help  
the backup/recovery plan to accept PostgreSQL as a solution with fast  
recovery times.

Thanks,

Charlie
