Re: Postgres Compare

As Neil mentioned below, sending plain text diffs to the -docs list will
probably suffice, though I'm sure those guys would much rather see sgml
based patches.

After a few minutes of googleing I came up with the following:
http://regina.sourceforge.net/docbook.html (Windows DocBook Support)
I'm sure there are more out there.

Please also remember that any plain text editor will be able to edit the
files, they just might be a bit hard to work with with all of the tags
in the document. (think editing html docs in notepad)
