<H4><A name="1.4">1.4</A>) What non-Unix ports are available?</H4>
<P><STRONG>Client</STRONG></P>
<P>It is possible to compile the <I>libpq</I> C library, psql, and
other interfaces and client applications to run on MS Windows platforms.
In this case, the client is running on MS Windows, and communicates
via TCP/IP to a server running on one of our supported Unix
platforms. A file <I>win32.mak</I> is included in the distribution
for making a Win32 <I>libpq</I> library and <I>psql</I>. PostgreSQL
also communicates with <SMALL>ODBC</SMALL> clients.</P>
<P><STRONG>Server</STRONG></P>
<P>The database server can run on Windows NT and Win2k using
Cygwin, the Cygnus Unix/NT porting library. See
<I>pgsql/doc/FAQ_MSWIN</I> in the distribution or the MS Windows FAQ
at <A href="http://www.PostgreSQL.org/docs/faqs/text/FAQ_MSWIN">
http://www.PostgreSQL.org/docs/faqs/text/FAQ_MSWIN</A>.</P>
<p>A native port to MS Win NT/2000/XP is currently being worked
on. For more details on the current status of PostgreSQL on Windows see
<a href="http://techdocs.postgresql.org/guides/Windows">

<P>Starting with version 8.0, PostgreSQL now runs natively on
Microsoft Windows NT-based operating systems like Win2000, WinXP,
and Win2003. A prepackaged installer is available at <a href=
