You don't want to unpack the jar file - you just want to run it. As a
Java package, you'd do something like this from the command line:

java -jar AppleCommander-1.3.5-ac.jar

See: http://applecommander.sourceforge.net/acguide.html

Darn, I don't do Java either. I used to, but too many things
on my computer tend to mess with my necessary configuration.

It's a zip'd jar. I think you can just unzip it, if you want to see
what's inside. Of course, the source is on the site, too.

I have an older version of the GUI of Apple Commander that
hasn't been used in a year, so I guess I don't really need it.
Besides, doesn't Ciderpress beat the pants off it on Intel-based
machines?

Ciderpress has more features, but it requires Windows, not just Intel. I
doubt there's a significant GUI performance difference.

My interest was making it accessible from the command line for
cross-development. Oh, and UCSD Pascal support, too:-)

John,

Please don't take me the wrong way, when I did try the GUI version,
I thought it was excellent, and I'm sure that for the reasons you developed
it, the job gets done. I just don't like command line. Guess I'm just lazy.
I was so happy when GUI came out and I didn't have to type all of that
stuff on a single line, and if it's not right, well, type it all in again. Point and
Click has always appealed to me., which is the reason I love the IIgs with
GS/OS 6.0.1.
