     For <productname>Windows NT</productname>, 
     the server-side port of <productname>Postgres</productname> uses
     the RedHat/Cygnus <productname>Cygwin</productname> library and
     toolset. For <productname>Windows 9x</productname>, no
     server-side port is available due to OS limitations.

   <title>Unsupported Platforms</title>

   <para>
    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 <emphasis>could</emphasis> be supported if given some 
    attention.
