The problem with the "sim" command is that Linux doesn't always look in your local directory when you ask it to execute a program. There are two ways around this: 1. You can type "./sim" (without the quotes), which tells it to look for "sim" in the local directory, signified by "./" 2. You can tell it to always look in your local directory by adding the following line to the top of the file ".bashrc", which is located in your home directory (the directory you find yourself in when you first log in to the system): export PATH=$PATH:. If using the .bashrc method (which I recommend, as it is a permanent change and will relieve you of the annoyance of having to type "./" every time you want to execute a program in your current directory), to get the change to take effect, log out of Eustis and then log back in. Then you should be able to type "sim" and it will execute just fine if "sim" is in your current directory. (Alternatively, type "source .bashrc" to update without having to re-log.) Note that the ".bashrc" file is hidden from view by default (since it begins with a dot), but you can see such files by typing "ls -a" instead of just "ls" for a directory listing.
