The Case Insensitive Text data type for PostgreSQL is now part of the GBorg projects.

Nice work, just two comments (1) the C++ comment style (//) is not
portable for C programs and should be changed and (2) the standard way
to distribute this kind of stuff is a tarball, zip is more from the
windows world.
Regargs,
Manuel.

PostgreSQL compiles fine with many compilers in many platforms, and
not only with gcc: it's designed that way with a lot of effort and
headaches; just check the list of supported plataforms

Really?, Mine is smaller:
masm(at)conexa$ ls -l citext.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 masm masm 7334 sep 25 17:00 citext.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 masm masm 7147 sep 25 18:12 citext.tar.gz
[downloading yours]..., Oh I see: you are using compress(1) instead of
gzip.
Regards,
Manuel.

Ok so it was only a few lines.
Have updated CVS with that minor change.

Have now used the -z option as opposed to the -Z option which I didn't realise
there was any difference.
Yes it is now smaller than the .zip version.
