it's here:

http://www.jsynthlib.org/


instructions are in the "documentation" section. it says -

[MS Windows] Run JSynthLib.jar by typing java -jar JSynthLib-XXX.jar from the command prompt. You may create a shortcut on the desktop to JSynthLib.jar.

what's the command prompt?
i'm on XP SP3

Type windows-R and then run cmd.exe

That will give you a window you can type the command into.

you probably need to change the command prompt so you are in the directory where the code lives

i downloaded and tested and it worked OK, using 'java JSynthLib' as the command from with the code directory

for example

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\downloaded\jsynth\j2>java JSynthLib
