Paul,

I think that changing SIS to no longer require OIDs is exactly the right
thing to do.  So much so that we did it 18 months ago.  The
PostGIS-related components in SIS of version number 6.3.175 or higher
behave exactly as described.  The version 6.3 components are 100%
compatible with any installation of version 6.2 (whose PostGIS
components did rely on OIDs, as described).

Steve,

If you are still having trouble, or need an upgraded DLL, then please
contact me or Cadcorp support directly, off list.
