Both problems solved! I did have to tweek a couple of things though:
fnctl.h seems to be called fcntl.h on my Visual Studio installation (I
assume they're the same file - it didn't complain after I copied one to the
other!).
The VC compiler didn't like the use of PG_VERSION in lines 607 & 629 in
src/bin/psql/startup.c - a quick hardcode of the version number cured this.
And, yes I know both of those fixes are a million miles from fixing it
properly but I'm only toying with an idea here!
BTW: I'm working with beta3 not the snapshot that I assume you are using.
Thanks, Dave.
