Correction: bantam browser instructions (was Re: Announcing Project Bantam)

There was a mistake in step (2) of the instructions I had posted earlier
this morning; the instructions should read:

(1) download 'bantam-client.jar' from
bantam.dev.java.net<https://bantam.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList>
This jar contains an alternate DiscoveryManager and LookupLocator
implementation that is compatible with Bantam unicast discovery.

(2) edit browser.config in ${JINI_HOME}/installverify/support to include:

> discoveryManager=new
> com.skillcorp.bantam.service.discovery.BantamDiscoveryManager();
> initialLookupLocators = new net.jini.core.discovery.LookupLocator[] {
>    new com.skillcorp.bantam.service.discovery.RegistryLocator( "
> http://bantam.skillcorp.com/bantam-examples/locator/")
> };
>

Thanks to Vinod Johnson for finding this error.
