Re: [Squirrel-sql-develop] Java Web Start version

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
