There is at least one company producting drivers for Borland's products, so I
would be surprised if there wasn't something for Delphi - Googling should do
there.

Don't know of anything for Crystal. Why do you not want to use ODBC?

I'm sure someone involved in the Windows port will help out here, but the
effort is to make the PostgreSQL code run on both platforms, not to produce
another Windows version. Of course, since Windows is a new platform to run
on, it won't have received as much testing as with *nix systems, and might
need some performance work too. Other than that, I can't think what would
cause problems.
