Why didn't i think at this. Tied, probably ;-!  Thanks, Frank for 
pointing us in this direction ;)

100 times true, even for a newbie under MacOS X in getting the cool 
Marc Liyanage's installer at

<http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosxpostgresql>

  or under Windows in using the PostgreSQL Beta 8.0 and the windows 
dedicated tools coming with it at

<http://www.postgresql.org> and <http://pgreplicator.sourceforge.net/>

I'm using PG all the time under both Linux and MacOS X (can help) but 
havn't begin to test and work with the replicator for yet (can't help).

Same...

Same again ;)
