Daniel Horak
For Windows NT,
the server-side port of Postgres uses
the RedHat/Cygnus Cygwin library and
toolset. For Windows 9x, no
server-side port is available due to OS limitations.
Unsupported Platforms
Platforms listed for v6.3.x-v6.5.x should also work with v7.0,
but we did not receive explicit confirmation of such at the time this
list was compiled. We include these here to let you know that
these platforms could be supported if given some
attention.
At the time of publication, the following platforms have not been
tested for v7.0 or v6.5.x:
