Re: ERWin 3.5.2 and Postgres ODBC

There are a number of places you can still find the GB User's Guide in PDF format - I found one at http://database.ittoolbox.com/pub/EO051401c.pdf ... If someone wants to store a copy at the postgresql.org website, I don't think there would be any problems with that.

Be warned: it's 192 pages, 2.7 MB. The ERWin section might not go into the level of detail you're looking for, but it's a start.

Cheers,
Ned
