HamSphere

[W6ODJ]

Folks,

If you have a Mac and download the zip file from the HamSphere web  
page, note that simply double-clicking that zip file will NOT produce  
the jar file you need.  The Mac will unzip and then go ahead and un-
jar the jar file, resulting in a collection of class files in a nest  
of directories.  I found that does not work.

So, to use HamSphere on the Mac, first download the zip file and put  
it in some new folder you make for that purpose.  Then open Terminal  
and cd to that folder.  Now, in Terminal, do "unzip xxxx.zip" where  
the xxxx is the prefix of the zip file.  That will do what you want.  
A jar file will appear, and that jar file will run correctly.

Now close Terminal and double click on the jar file you just created.  
Should work unless something is wrong with your java setup.

73,
Oliver W6ODJ

Thanks, but my download resulted in a .jar that I can just double-click
looks like the server is down though.

now presumablt it either uses the built in mic and sound out or I need

I downloaded the zip file and unzipped it both with Stuffit Expander and with the terminal method and got a .jar file I could double click. However, double clicking on it only brings up a blank purple window with the title info. There are no info boxes or any other way to access the program. I checked my installation of Java and its fine.
