Re: PG on Win2K

Nikhil,

Asynchrony Solutions has a product named Envoke, a cross platform
collaboration application which by default uses PostgreSQL on the
back-end. It is included in Envoke's Windows installation. By visiting
http://www.envoke.us, you can download a trial of the software, to see
how PostgreSQL for Windows gets installed and started automatically.
