Dan, I downloaded JRE 1.4.2. Deleted 1.3.1 and then installed 1.4.2. Rebooted. Went to a DOS window and typed in everything just as the instructions indicated java ScheduleBuilder By doing this I get a "File not found" error. By leaving out the "aircraft/regnumber and timetable, I get a "File Creation Error". If I just type in java ScheduleBuilder it tells me that this program can not be run in DOS. I can't figure this out for the life of me. There is no java window that I can find. :-zhelp Steve

Interesting problem. Try ommiting any spaces in the file names(rename them if you are reading from them) and see if that helps.

Fred, I have renamed my aircraft file and eliminated a "-". I have tried the input every way I can think of. I get a File not Found every time. Once, I did get a File creation error. I got that when I input: java ScheduleBuilder I'm totally confused. Even though I go to the folder where I have Schedule Builder in DOS to run the java app, it tells me that it can't find the file. Never tells me which file, btw. :-hmmmSteve

Ok, long shot(my last suggestion, else I am totally lost :() is to get rid of the '<' and '>' and just do this:java ScheduleBuilder TWEAC.txt TWE.txtWho knows....

Fred, Now, I'm doing all of this in the DOS window. Is that correct? Or is there some java console or window? I actually tried what you suggested. Didn't work. There must be something basic I'm doing totally wrong. Thanks for helping.Steve

Hi Steve,This is what I do, I put all of the Schedule builder files in d:Schedule.Then I make a aircraft.txt and a timetable.txt to the syntax described in the readme file, in d:Schedule.Then I go Start, RUN, cmd, this opens a dos window.I type d:, to go to my d drive, then cd schedule, then type java ScheduleBuilder aircraft.txt timetable.txt.And thats it, it certainly works, quite a nice little program when you get it running.Dan.If you need me to run throught it with you, I am on MSN, [email protected]
