Thanks Raymond for the quick reply, but i have certain limitation to this. I had created a standalone application on postgresql as a backend database considering windows xp but now i have learnt that some clients are still working on windows 98 OS. So is there any way out for windows98 to act as a postgres server?

Does cygwin work on Win98? - you might have some luck there, though I don't know whether newer versions of Windows will run on it; older ones (<= 7.4) might. Are you *really* tied to Windows 98? I haven't even *seen* it in years.... Surely you must have some other options?
