I'l agree that a DBMS engine written specifically for NT may not be a good choice on a Unix platfrom, and further will agree that writing one that will run on both will be (to use M$ executive's words) ``compile link and limp', but the fact that PostgreSQL does not compile on Windows is a testament to its coding quality. But this is orthogonal to this whole thread. Or is my new baby keping me awake for too long? ---------- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG Voice: 503.799.2313
