Finally! Something for the Apple Macintosh ... Sort of

Apple users have been asking me for sometime whether I had any versions that run on the Mac.  Since I don't own a Mac it was a little difficult to compile some of my free programs that run on cross platform libraries for the Mac.  However I have just ported my Quick Jyotish program to Java.  A Java program will run on any computer that has the Java runtime environment installed.  Hence Quick Jyotish Java should run on an Apple Mac if it has Java installed.  This version is the same as the Linux, Windows and Pocket PC versions except that it also includes printing.  The Java version will also run on Linux and Windows if Java is installed.  On most systems if you have Java installed and unzip the archive you should see the QuickJyotish.jar program using a Java icon.  By clicking on it the program will run.  If you don't see the icon chances are you don't have Java installed.   Here's the program file for download:
Quick Jyotish Java


To install Java go here:
http://www.java.com/getjava/

This version will not run on the Pocket PC or a cellphone.  Both of those require a different version of Java.  Note I've included a little "easter egg" in the prgram where if you run it from the command line it will open a Jyotish Tools file:
java -jar QuickJyotish.jar MyChart.jtl

Enjoy the program and let me know if you find any bugs.
