Hi Per,
You have opened a can of worms here ;-)
I have never had any success running java apps. They run slow (they
seem to
for me anyway), I never seem to have the right jre installed and the verbose
and cryptic error messages mean nothing to me.
I am grappling with a problem as we speak. When I start jpskmail, I get
a
dialog box saying:
Message: For input string:'"'
From class: class java.lang.NumberFormatException
Problems with config parameter.
Then I get another box saying:
Could not store setting: ICON
I have just installed v0.3.6 but it did the same thing with 0.3.4
There is nothing in the Wiki or the manual that tells me what this
means nor
how to fix it. I have followed the installation instructions to the letter.
These frustrations are what is stopping me using pskmail.
I have no such issues with the perl version but I can't transfer files
(upload) with it. John (VK2ETA) has suggested a possible solution but I need
to run jpskmail.
In my opinion, the project should have stuck with perl. I am by no
means
proficient with perl but I do understand a little and all errors I have
encountered with other scripts I have managed to fix.
I'll go take my medication now; my blood pressure has gone through the
roof
(only joking).
Ian
VK1IAN.
