Thanks Bruce. So in general NT4 is out as a client and I might not even be able
to install pgAdmin as a binary. Bit of a bother that- I'm hoping to get clients
and users onto Linux RSN but until then being able to e.g. cut-and-paste out of
psql is something I find very useful indeed.

Alternatively is there a binary somewhere of the psql client that uses the
Cygwin DLL?

Apologies for sounding like a total wimp, I'm an embedded-systems guy who also
does Delphi on PCs. I'm up to a bit of C hacking under Linux but have never
dirtied my hands with C or C++ on Win-32.
