Hi Nigel, Webstart is a feature that has been requested numerous times so I'm very glad to see you making a start on it. Give me a couple of days (I'm flat out at the moment) and I'll have a look at what you've done. If you're agreeable I'll probably get you to put it up on the squirrel homepage, but I'll talk to you about that later -- Colin Bell http://squirrel-sql.sf.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Nigel Ramsay <nig...@we...> Date: Saturday, November 23, 2002 3:39 pm Subject: [Squirrel-sql-develop] Java Web Start version > Hi everyone > > I am an active user of Squirrel SQL.
