SHARP/autoSHARP feedback

To help us improve all aspects about our software we need the feedback of users. Problems and/or failures are helpful as well as success stories! To give some examples of what we're interested in, a few questions about running SHARP/autoSHARP or installing SHARP/autoSHARP are given.

The best way is to send an email to with as much details as possible. Initially, please do not send us large files (we can arrange this at a later stage). For smaller files (like SIN files etc) you can easily attach them to your email.
