Go to http://superversion.org/download.html
Right click and Save As on the "client.jlnp" version that you are using
You shouldn't need any batch files for your client copy of Superversion

2. Once I started the client (with java web start), it asked me to specify the db directory.  Well, I did when I run client and the server in the same machine.  Now, I want to connect to the superversion server from a remote machine.  How do I setup the client on the remote machine?  The client won't let me in without setup DB location first.  Moreover, there is nowhere in the client to specify the remote server's IP address or port.

The client also keeps its own DB to keep track of the code on your client machine. This is not the same as the DB that the server uses, so just create a new directory on your client machine for this.

(When you are running client and server on the same machine, you probably don't want to specify the same DB directory for both.. I'm just guessing, but this might have adverse effects)

Once you have setup the DB on your client machine and Superversion starts, you should see a welcome screen that has 3 large icons on the left pane: Local Projects, Remote Projects, Server Admins.  Click on Remote Projects and enter the IP address of your server there.  

Checkout the project you wish to have on your local machine.  On the next screen click "Add work area".  It should walk you through the rest.

Hope this helps,
