Oh, really? :| Cuz quite a few users still use Windows 98.
(Yet very small fraction of them use PG and the admin tools; out of which
phpPgAdmin dominates...)

I'd love to have it for a couple of my 98 boxes. I did try to compile
it with Visual C++ on my Win98 SE a couple of months back. Originally, it did not.
The first reason was UNIX EOLs for VC++ project and workspace files... Then I had
issues with compiling and linking to wxWindows... and then I didn't have
time. Though my compiling and linking problems existed because I used not your
version of wxWindows, but the one from their website. Only after I realized
that you had your proper patches for it.
