Ah. Like I said, only gave it a quick look :-) As long as it works without msys, I'm fine with that. Once they reach non-alpha state, of course. (I'm not going to comment on the relative merits of the different scms - as long as it works, and it not unsupported in a way that it can suddenly break and not be quickly fixed...) //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
