[amsat-bb] A Modern Oscar Locator

[Chris Thompson]

Hi Joe,

Are you on Windows?  Do you get nothing when you double click the exe?
What version of Java do you have installed?  Maybe it is silently
crashing?  Is the exe still there?  You anti-virus might have deleted it.

If you have java in your path try running it from the command line and let
me know what error it prints out.  e.g. open a command prompt.  Go to the
install directory.  Type java -jar KlaTrack.jar
If java is not in the path then use the full path to java.exe.
