Re: JDBC Driver

G'day Gary,

Perhaps it could be a Netscape issue when downloading JAR's, as NS can
corrupt JAR's because it thinks they're not binary. Either try fetch, or IE,
or similar to download the file. There's also a few drivers at
http://jdbc.fastcrypt.com if you need to try a different site. Failing all
of that, holler me back and I'll send you the driver as an attachment.

Cheers and good luck,
Joe
