AutoHARP to be officially released Friday June 7th

I have just received confirmation from Iron Crown that the full Harp Fantasy database will be available on OneBookShelf on Friday June 7th. The full database for Harp Sci-Fi will be released the following day, Saturday. I am excited to be able to share the full blown AutoHARP application. There are plans to have additional databases included such as Sci-Fi Extreme, Martial Law and College of Magics.

A word about the installation files. For Windows users the installation file is an .exe so installation should be normal. For Linux I have done something a bit different. I have used an installer program called IzPack which is cross platform and creates a .jar file. In order to run this .jar you must have the Java Runtime Environment installed on your computer. For Ubuntu users I think JRE is automatically installed but I'm not entirely sure. If not it should be easily available from the Ubuntu Software program. I did it this way because I have tried unsuccessfully to create debian packages and IzPack actually worked and was a lot easier to setup and maintain.

Here are some important links for AutoHarp

I plan to create a demo that will go over the high level usage of the application.

Thanks again and I hope you enjoy AutoHARP!
