Should be. I've been meaning to install it but have been pre-occupied
with a final project for Uni.

No, ours is on a private network. Most of the time though, I use Cygwin
PostgreSQL on my XP laptop. It works well for testing - especially as it
can be stopped and started as required without affecting others.

I'll look at that. The build environment has only been lashed together
so far anyway.

No, anonymous only has read access. Please submit patches (diff -c
format) for the time being. If you start producing many/big patches of
good quality, then I'll look at creating a read/write CVS account for
you.

Most of the browser & properties dialogues need work, but I've yet to
figure out all the details of them. If you're up for a big task, then we
need the SQL query tool. If you're familiar with MS SQL Query Analyzer,
I think the general concencus is that a design similar to that would be
good.

There are also other things in the ToDo list. Mark & I are quite busy
now, so if anything assigned to us takes your fancy, just let me know
first.

Thanks, Dave.
