Re: Download link for 'Bristlecone'

Hello Abdul,

I also think you could start Bristlecone under Windows since it is Java
based (but never tested it).
On the page I sent to you, there's a link for downloading bristlecone.
Just scroll down and you'll find a section "downloads", or use this one:
https://forge.continuent.org/frs/?group_id=22

I used Mercury LoadRunner but it is not freeware. The link http://bristlecone.continuent.org/HomePage only has details about this software but not the download link. Secondly it is for Unix not for Windows. And I found AppLoader freeware but it does not include PostgreSQL in its database list. My research is ongoiung and will prompt you as I get something fruitful and expecting the same from you.
