Instructions
Put the file admiral.jar in a directory of your choice. Once run, the program will create a data file in which it stores your preferences.

You need Java (version 5) to run this program. You can get it here: http://java.com. Java is available for most major operating systems.

The Admiral is packaged as an executable jar file. This means that once java is installed, you should be able to double-click on the file to run it. Try it.

  • If this fails, you need to run the command "javaw -jar admiral.jar" in the directory you placed the file.
  • If this also fails, you need to find where the java executable is and run it explicitly: for example, c:\program files\java\j2re1.5\bin\javaw.exe -jar admiral.jar. Contact the developer for more help.
  • The help file for the application can be read here.
