The program is written in the popular Java language which results in two significant advantages:-

• The executable program is distributed as MagnumOpus.jar Such files (having a .jar extension) are distinguished by the fact that they will run on any computer which has a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. Consequently it will run equally well on Windows and Macintosh (and of course on Linux and Solaris).

  Windows users will probably need to install the Jave Runtime Environment (JRE) on their computer before Magnum Opus can be used successfully. This software package is available from the  Java website.  It's free, and only takes a couple of minutes to download and install.

• Java uses Unicode to represent characters, so the program automatically caters for the character set of virtually every language used in the world today. No need to specify the character set you want to use...Magnum Opus will take care of all such issues without user intervention.
