Hi, Dan,

Good job! According to Joost's postgres installation procedures, and your help,
I have already installed Postgres on WinNT successfully. I also wrote
installation procedures for Chinese version which describes how I installed,
and put it on my home page, see

So if you are a chinese, maybe this is a good info.

Best regards,
Kevin.
