Right, that should be OK.

Well, I say that - I find that if I have the DTK perl installed, --with-perl fails miserably on my laptop, so I normally only have ActiveState installed. > . download and unpack the latest release of client code from > http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000040 > . read instructions at > http://pgfoundry.org/docman/view.php/1000040/4/PGBuildFarm-HOWTO.txt > . get the software running locally using flags > --force--nostatus --nosend > . register your machine at http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/register.html > . when you receive credentials, put them in the config file, and > schedule regular builds (without those flags) for the > branches you want > to support.

I'll have to run it past one of my colleagues (who is out until Monday) as he technically 'owns' our Windows dev server. It will be a 2K3 Server in case you're interested. I'll let you know either way. Regards, Dave ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
