Hi Simon, and Dave,Magnus.

About pg_standby, a link option cause a problem in windows(XP and 2k,2k3).
It is because the call of mklink is needed. Then, they are the new programs of
VISTA and 2008. It is CreateSymbolicLink of API of kernel32.lib is equipped
with mklink.

Therefore, I considered whether it should correspond by the 'Junction' or the 'Hard
Link' this way and that. However, The addition thought that it was not desirable
by the reason of the process of evolution functional pg_standby. A copy function
is no problem. However, I think that it is necessary to write it to a document in
order to avoid a user's confusion. probably, has that no source code corrects.

to Dave,and Magnus.
You can do more honest suggestion.:-)

Hiroshi Saito
