Re: postgresql as windows 2000 service problem

I do not know about this version of postgresql, but in principle pgsql service
should work on Windows 2000. I am using Windows2000 quite a few
months now as server and as client via the ultrasql version corresponding
with pgsql 7.0.2 without any major problem. So if it works quite well for 7.0.2
there is no reason why it should not work for 7.5 or other versions, unless
there is somewhere a bug in it.
