IIRC, I tried out PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on Cygwin 1.1.4 on Windows 98 in
the 9/2000 time frame. But, my guess is that PostgreSQL would run
on Windows 9X on Cygwin 1.1.1 (i.e., the first Net Release) or later.
I think that Cygwin 1.1.1 was released in the spring 2000 time frame.

Unfortunately, I never ran the regression tests on Windows 9X or Me. I
also will not have access to a 9X or Me machine for a while. Can
someone run the regression tests on such a machine and report back to the
list?

Cygwin runs pretty much the same on 9X/Me as on NT/2000 except for a few
rough edges and some perceived pokiness. I think that the services that
PostgreSQL needs from Cygwin should be okay on 9X/Me but the regression
test results will give us the definitive answer.

Thanks,
Jason
