    Hi Joe
    Tried the link but am unable to download it. I get to Github OK and am able to click on the builds/wire zip but nothing happens, also there is a note (binary file not shown)
    Do i have to be signed in for the app to be available.
    Kindest Regards
    Mike

    Mike,

    May I suggest you try it again ... it was probably just a glitch

    I have just successfully downloaded the zip file to my iPad
    [not that it’s much use there]

    Hi Michael
    managed to download the file and unzip it, i get wire.bat and wire.jar. when i try and run wire.bat i get no default application found. tried to run wire.jar and get java file "wire.jar" could not be launched.
    I am currently running a very old iMac G5 with the tenfourfox browser and seem to recall that for security reasons Java is disabled. as you have probably gathered i am IT challenged but would really like to get this application working if possible, i do have another PC running Windows 7 so will try with that machine later.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    Mike

    There are some helpful notes on the java.com website, Mike
    https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_mac.xml

    ... Not sure how you will get on with G5 compatibility though

    Best of luck

    I’m no expert, but happy to discuss any issues; within my very limited ability !

    Hi Michael
    I might take you up on your offer, i do have a more recent recent iMac that was given by my Daughter but have not got round to using it yet, which is a bit stupid as that will be approaching the no update stage soon. I have been following this thread from the start and the application looks to be very usefull. if i can get the app running i will purchase the camera that Joe linked too and add it to the come in handy box.
    Regards
    Mike

    No problem, Mike ... Let me know which OS is on the iMac
    I have one which I have ‘frozen’ on Snow Leopard, so we may be able to work in parallel if you are struggling with it.

    Disappointing news, Mike

    wire.jar did not open in Java on Snow Leopard [OS X 10.6.8]

    ... it presumably needs a recent version of Java, and these are not available for Snow Leopard

    Hi Michael
    Thanks for the update, i think the other iMac i have is El Capitain and also have the Windows 7 PC so all is not lost, have you had wire.jar running on another PC ?
    Regards
    Mike

    It seems to be fine on el Capitan, Mike

    Haven’t yet tried it on any version of MS Windows

    Edit: I may have 'spoken too soon'
    Both applications are failing to shut-down, and I need to 'Force Quit'
    ... and their CPU usage, according to 'Activity Monitor' is over 150%

    I will try them on a Windows machine

    Update: [mostly for Mike]

    I have just installed the latest java 8 on a little NetBook running Windows 7
    laser.jar and wire.jar both load and run

    The NetBook is so excruciatingly slow that this proved futile; but I’m sure that Win 7 on a better PC should be fine.

    Incidentally; I consulted a ‘learned friend’ on Sunday, regarding the CPU load on the Mac
    When he saw what was being done, and how speedily, he was very impressed ... and not at all surprised that this required 150%
