The
Magnum Opus program and all of its support files (dictionaries, grids etc) is packaged as a zipped
archive file called
MagnumOpus.zip
If your computer doesn't know how to unpack a
.zip file, there are plenty of free unzip programs on the Internet. Simply Google
Free unzip program for Windows or
Free unzip program for Macintosh and choose one of the many available.
The program unzips to a single folder called
MagnumOpus
which you can locate anywhere you choose on your hard drive. Inside this folder there is a file called
MagnumOpus.jar (or just
MagnumOpus if
your computer has been configured to not display standard extensions.) You can start the program by double
clicking the icon associated with this file, or you can create a Shortcut which you can place on your desktop
to provide a quick and easy method of starting the program.
