USERS GUIDE
This guide was written by Bob Sault and Neil Killeen. Unlike the old version of the Users' Guide, this one is full of explanations, examples, advice, and it even has an index. While the guide isn't complete (not all tasks are represented -- e.g. no mention of the G-routines) and it's biased towards ATNF data reduction, it's much better than the old manual.

Data Display and Visualization
- WIP
is an interactive package with a simple to use command line user
interface used to produce high quality graphical output. WIP was
developed as part of the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association
(BIMA) project.

Xlib for its user interface and drawing capabilities.
