243 | | - <P>It is possible to compile the <I>libpq</I> C library, psql, and |
244 | | - other interfaces and client applications to run on MS Windows platforms. |
245 | | - In this case, the client is running on MS Windows, and communicates |
246 | | - via TCP/IP to a server running on one of our supported Unix |
247 | | - platforms. A file <I>win32.mak</I> is included in the distribution |
248 | | - for making a Win32 <I>libpq</I> library and <I>psql</I>. PostgreSQL |
249 | | - also communicates with <SMALL>ODBC</SMALL> clients.</P> |

253 | | - <P>The database server can run on Windows NT and Win2k using |
254 | | - Cygwin, the Cygnus Unix/NT porting library. See |
255 | | - <I>pgsql/doc/FAQ_MSWIN</I> in the distribution or the MS Windows FAQ |

259 | | - <p>A native port to MS Win NT/2000/XP is currently being worked |

| 241 | + <P>Starting with version 8.0, PostgreSQL now runs natively on |
| 242 | + Microsoft Windows NT-based operating systems like Win2000, WinXP, |
| 243 | + and Win2003. A prepackaged installer is available at <a href= |
