To setup this link, type the following text at the command prompt:

ln -s $\backslash$apps$\backslash$ads2005a$\backslash$bin$\backslash$ads2005a ads2005a

After creating the symbolic link with above statement, type the following text at the command prompt to run the ads2005a program:

./ads2005a

note that there is a dot and a slash before the text ads2005a .
