Hello Mr Howard,

As a matter of fact the installation package for PostgreSql server
9.x was not finalized in time before Xbase++ 2.0 was released.
We  decided not to stop the release because of this.

The Installation package for PostgreSql server 9.x is our priority
number one topic we need to take care for inbetween or after the
conferences that takes place this month and november.

The reason for this is because version 8.x and 9.x are not binary
compatible to each other. Upgrading the server will require the
migration of the PostgreSql databases if Xbase++ solutions are
in production already. Allthough possible, it is an additional step
that needs to be done on your side.
