There is a binary for the NT version of the server, but as I say it needs 
Cygwin, there are no clear instructions on how to install it (only on how 
to compile from source) and I have given up at present - I'm about to dive 
into the PostgreSQL mailing lists to see if anything comes up.

Well I need it on Windows because some clients prefer it that way. I cannot 
tell my clients they are wrong if they choose NT - it may do everything 
they want.

Zope is extremely easy to install on NT  and has run very reliably in a 
real-world installation. The Windows-only ODBC DA makes it the platform of 
choice if you need ODBC. If we could find a decent open-source database 
that ran as well as Zope cross platform that would be brilliant and if 
Interbase gets there before PostgreSQL that's the way I'll be going.

I'd also like an Informix DA if anybody feels so inclined :-)
