pginstaller has such a psql binary that should work on NT, but it will
not install on NT. See the FAQ:

Thanks Bruce. So in general NT4 is out as a client and I might not even be able
to install pgAdmin as a binary. Bit of a bother that- I'm hoping to get clients
and users onto Linux RSN but until then being able to e.g. cut-and-paste out of
psql is something I find very useful indeed.

Alternatively is there a binary somewhere of the psql client that uses the
Cygwin DLL?

Apologies for sounding like a total wimp, I'm an embedded-systems guy who also
does Delphi on PCs. I'm up to a bit of C hacking under Linux but have never
dirtied my hands with C or C++ on Win-32.

The client should work on NT4. It's the server that has some problems.
And th einstlaler itself. But if you use the binaries-no-installer
distribution (it's on the ftp site), you should be able to use it.

Not sure about pgAdmin.

that uses the Cygwin DLL?

I think there may be on ein the actual Cygwin distribution, but I'm not
sure - it may also be an old verison.

Use the no-installer win32 package (it's just a zip of the core server files), psql should run on any version of windows from 95. You'll need some of the dlls as well - from memory:

Libpq.dll
Libintl.dll
Libiconv.dll
Comerr32.dll
Krb5_32.dll
Libeay32.dll
Ssleay32.dll

And pgAdmin /should/ work as well, but I don't know if anyone has tried it on NT4 in a while.
