I decided to try postGIS by working through the example in the link
posted towards the bottom of this post, and postGIS worked fine. The
most difficult part of working through the example was configuration.
If anyone would like to give postGIS a try, I would be happy to answer
any questions. I installed everything and performed the example
completely in Windows XP Pro, running in a VMware virtual machine under
under FC6 (eg it was all done in Window XP Pro).
If you decide to try postGIS, I would avoid installing the Windows
PostgreSQL version 8.2, and install PostgreSQL 8.1 instead. Under my
system the Windows 8.2 version of PostgreSQL would not install and
always resulted in a roll back, but the directories created became
inaccessible due to permission problems, so I can even delete them.
