Where To get PostgreSQL binaries for windows.
I do not want the source.

Best Regards to the entire community.

Postgresql doesn't run native on windows. The only way I know to get it to run is under cygwin which is a Unix/Posix layer for windows.

However, this solution is suboptimal, as the added layer of complexity results in a less than perfectly stable system, from reports I've heard.

Don't worry though, Postgres can run on just about any flavor of unix out there, and even an old Pentium 100 running RedHat 5.2 is a good choice for a postgresql server.

I think it's just 7.0, which I did have some problems with. Minor but damned bothersome problems.

If it's 7.0 do yourself a favor and go to a linux install fest, eat some pizza with a pack of wild geeks put some useful distro on a P100 with postgresql and odbc and just hit it from your windows box for everything else.

If all it's doing is running a database, a P100 with 64 to 128 Megs ram can handle most any intranet applications and sending emails, but it won't win any awards on running heavy stuff.

Most importantly, it'll just work on that kind of setup. Do yourself a favor and run it on a good, reliable machine with dma hard drives (IDE or SCSI either one are fine for this).
