JSWolf, merseybeatle is having problems with calibre. (Though refuses to tell us what the errors are...)

Firstly, leave the .jar file in one piece. There is no need to extract anything from it.

Anyway, this is a Java program. You'll need to have the java runtime environment installed. (There's a chance you already do if you run any Java web apps.)

This is also a command line program, so you'll need to run it from the command line, i.e., a DOS prompt.

First

Code:

cd "C:\path to\where\the jar\file is\"

change it to the actual path where your files are, e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\merseybeatle\My Documents\LRFtools".

Then you'll need to add the directory containing the Java binaries to your path, e.g.:

Code:

set path="%path";"C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin"

But check the actual path you need. That's probably wrong, and as a non-Windows user I don't know what it is.

Then you should be able to follow the instructions linked to under usage on the first page.

The command for converting LRF to epub would be something like:

Code:

java -Xms200M -Xmx300M -jar LRFTools-0.9.236.jar convertLRF "C:\path to\LRF files\" -EPUB

Which should convert all the LRF files in "C:\path to\LRF files\" to EPUB. (Change the path to what it should be for your files.)

I hope that's right. I don't use Windows, so I couldn't test all of that.
