I have tried with PostgreSQL 6.5.3 version on Win98.
All runs well until I start the postmaster daemon,
a this point I obtain this error:

BASH.EXE-2.02$ postmaster -i &
[2] 1004
BASH.EXE-2.02$ DEBUG: Data Base System is starting up at Thu Nov 11 15:46:43

Recently I send an email for help to Joost Kraaijeveld (the author of
Readme.nt).
I'm still waiting for a reply.
