It's still a bit too basic for real use though:
Yeah i know. I write this for my internal use.
Initial purpose of this stuff is only to avoid teaching of an old lady with
minimum computer skills to use bash and hide this ugly dos box :)
Mark L. Woodward (mlw) anounce few monts ago a self installing PostgreSQL
for Windows so
i write him about this console. He do a lof job to.
Special thanks Mark.

OK, now how to make WinMaster more usefull ?
It's open source so if any1 want use it he/she may help to
develop it.

I. Install as a service feature for winmaster are included in my plans
for future.
II. I'm thinking about direct link to PostgreSQL server instead usung
CreateProcess,
but this is unclear idea at present time. Any suggestions will be
welcome.
III Please add any feature rquests to
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/winmaster/bugs/buglist.php?fr=yes
and ideas to mailto:winmaster-general(at)gborg(dot)postgresql(dot)org

Justin you are right !!!
