> i don't think u can run jar files. a bit lazy to try it out, so before anybody else gives u the *totally* correct answer, probably i can try a "hit-and-miss" solution :p. better than nobody answering u yet rite? heheh

> what is your class file? i assume it's test.class since u put it in test.jar. is it in any package? if it's not, probably u can try something like this (assuming you're "cd"-ed to the directory where test.jar is in)

I have solved the problem now. You are able to run jar files. To do this you have to add "Main-Class" to your manifest file.

I solved my problem by dropping the "G:" from the path of bytron.jar.

But thank you for you reply.
