Hell Bill,

thanks for downloading nitro :)

there is a README file for the blog example.
Generally this example does not run on Windows because it uses the
ruby-xslt library. I 'll release a new version next week that will
include a version of the blog example that will NOT use XSLT. I 'll
make sure it runs out of the box on Linux (if you have Mysql installed
of course).

how have you tried this with Postgres on  Win32, is there a ruby-psql
driver that runs on Win32?

There is absolutely no setup you need to do. Og automatically creates
the database and all tables, join tables, sequences, indices etc that
are needed by introspecting standard Ruby objects.

Thanks for your regards, I 'll try to prepare a Win32 version of the Bl
og example over the weekend. Btw, have you tried the tiny example?

George
