Download instructions

Charsep is a java-developped program, using a "Swing" user-interface.

You can download 2 different files depending what you need :

WINDOWS - EXECUTABLE DOWNLOAD

A wrapped-exe version is available by clicking here for standard Windows users. It's a wrapped executable - meaning that it will search for the best suitable Java Virtual Machine on your PC to execute this program. (This Zip file contains both the exe and the jar file).

This version is the simplest way to run Charsep however it has some limitations.

- Windows only (Any version of Windows with a Java Virtual Machine v1.8 minimum)

- It may be wrongly detected as a virus by some antivirus software since executable is not signed

- Memory settings are pre-defined : 100 Mo mini, 300 Mo max (This should allow correct usage on common PCs).

- No access to the command-line processor

If you want to run it on Linux or MacOS, if you want to use the command-line processor, or if you want to apply specific memory settings you will need to use the jar file (see below).

JAR - FILE DOWNLOAD

Charsep is  also available as an executable jar file by clicking here and saving the file to your local disk (less than 800 kbytes). It is a freeware - you can download and use it on any computer without requiring any admin/install privileges. You can read my disclaimer here. No "installation" is required - just copy the jar file and run it... Since an executable jar will use default memory settings for your system, once downloaded you can also execute it using the following command (I did not include the paths so you can adapt to your system) :

javaw -cp charsep.jar com.charsep.Charsep

This allows you to set specific memory parameters, i.e. -Xms and -Xmx to set initial and Max Java heap size, force select 32 or 64 bits memory structure, etc.. It can also allow you to include additional Charsets on the classpath.

Configuration is based on a charsep.properties text file, that will be created where the jar file is launched from, if missing on first execution.

You can get the ico file for setting an icon here.
