Hi Wolfgang
Checked Java was there and correct with $ java -version
That proved to be OK.
Then $ sudo java -jar /home/pi/Downloads/SMSQmulator.jar
Also forgot that the operating system is case sensitive, the 'D' in Download
being the culprit.

Hi Ian,
'ls -l' to show detailed listing will show who owns files.
Just because it is in your directory doesn't mean you own it, you could
have accidentally done something like 'sudo unzip smsqemulator.zip'
There is nothing in SMSQmulator or java that requires root to run so
something is wrong.
Hi Graeme
Yes all the SMSQmulator files are owned by pi, the default user name I have
been using.
Just tried it again without the sudo command, and now it runs. Not sure what
was going on there.

Ah, isn't computing fun? Who ever said it was a science?
Anyway, good, as Graeme said, there's no need to run it as root.
Have fun.

Hi Ian,
If you open up the File Manager and select the SMSQmulator.jar file.
Performing a right click to get the properties of the file. There should
be a tab called "Open With" to define the application to open the .jar
Just point toward the Java Runtime and the double clicking the Jar file
Hi Derek
Entered java -jar, works fine now. Just seems to be an extention of the
command line.
Have a desktop shortcut as well now. Plus my own custom QXL.WIN files, all
fully working now.
I still have a lot to learn about Raspberry Pi and Linux.
Best Regards
Ian
