Executing the jar file would not store the keps file in the specified
directory. I copied the keps file there manually and all worked. Can that be
fixed?

By "the specified directory", do you mean the directory it showed at first
startup or you passed in a directory?
Did it fail to download the keps? That is the usual reason. You need to
have a live internet connection. I don't ship any default keps with the
program.
Which platform are you running it on?

Very cool, Chris!
I've been sort of addicted to the sky at a glance feature of gpredict, but
it blows up after a few hours of running. I find your program's display a
bit more informative and intuitive. Very nice!

Chris -
The linux and mac download links have an apostophe at the end of the link,
creating a 404 error. If you manually copy the link and past it in the
address bar (then remove the appostrophe), then the link works.

56-57-66-67.
We will also be on HF at up to 8 Maine state parks for the Parks on the Air
& World-Wide Flora and Fauna awards programs, and any interesting roadside
attraction we stumble upon while on the road.
Complete details here:?https://www.facebook.com/events/805477656486634/

Hi Joe,
Are you on Windows? Do you get nothing when you double click the exe?
What version of Java do you have installed? Maybe it is silently
crashing? Is the exe still there? You anti-virus might have deleted it.
If you have java in your path try running it from the command line and let
me know what error it prints out. e.g. open a command prompt. Go to the
install directory. Type java -jar KlaTrack.jar
If java is not in the path then use the full path to java.exe.
