Hi Mark,

I have an immediate need to try and test this.

Any chance that you could have GEOS 3 built for WinXP that I could drop 
into a system currently running:

"POSTGIS="1.1.3" GEOS="2.2.2-CAPI-1.1.0" PROJ="Rel. 4.4.9, 29 Oct 2004" 
USE_STATS"

"PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on i686-pc-mingw32, compiled by GCC gcc.exe (GCC) 
3.4.2 (mingw-special)"

It would really help if I didn't have to upgrade to 8.2, but if that is 
out of the question I can do the upgrade.

Thanks,
