Thanks! RE: [postgis-users] Cygwin / PostgreSQL / PostGIS installation

[Henry Holland]

Thanks for all the help from this list. It's been a frustrating couple

designing my spatial database and am sure I'll have more queries.
Hopefully, though, they'll be a bit more interesting.

Best regards,
Henry
