I used this guide,

</color><FontFamily><param>Arial</param><smaller>download cygwin,

download cygipc

and follow the above instructions

its a snap to do and it works fine, the biggest headache I had was unzipping
the .bz files.

There's a pg -cygwin mailing list at postgresql.org

install the two, open cygwin,type

ipc-daemon &

then type

/bin/postmaster -i -D /share/postgresql/data &

and there you go

useful utility:

pgadmin 11 fom sourceforge

enjoy

There's also a native commercial windows version at dbexperts.com( I think) but
I've no idea what its like. For hacking about with pg and unix cygwin is a pretty
gentle introduction, though I can't see it being of any use in an actual working
system.

hope this helps
