... If your workstation can run any of the standard data reduction systems, it can run Draco. ... The Draco source files and executable will require about 20Mb of disk space. Draco is written in Common Lisp, specifically Allegro Common Lisp 4.2 beta by Franz, Inc. The distribution includes an executable image, so you don't need a Lisp system at your site. We chose Lisp since it offered a powerful, high-level development environment that is available on many different machines. ...

... The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. ... Information on the NTP architecture, protocol and algorithms can be found in the Further Information and Bibliography page.

Next: Calibration with the ISOPHOT Interactive Analysis (PIA) . ... ISO P HOT I nteractive A nalysis, PIA , is a scientific and calibration data analysis tool for ISOPHOT data reduction. The PIA software was designed both as a tool for use by the instrument team for calibration of the PHT instrument during and after the ISO mission, and as an interactive tool for ISOPHOT data analysis by general observers. ... PIA is entirely based on the Interactive Data Language IDL (IDL92). ...

... The MIDAS system is built along lines which should allow easy integration of complex analysis algorithms as well as allowing greater flexibility in interactive use and in the creation of user specific procedures from the basic building blocks. ... The present version which became available in 1984 follows a similar philosophy in its application program interfaces, but has been expanded to the new Standard Interfaces which have a broader base than previously. ...

XmTel is intended for interactive remote telescope operation. It is not primarily a robotic telescope control system, but rather a "hands-on" remote telescope interface with a server that permits remote operation and robotic control by making use of INDI for command line, scripted, and and interactive operation. ... We have adapted this telescope to the Galil controllers, and the Galil driver included here will operate a wide class of telescopes with that modification. ...

PSP LAN Systems develops products that provide network operating system services (such as file, print, transaction, security and directory) for multiple operating systems (OS/2, DOS, Windows and AIX). ... PSP LAN Systems has identified an API (or development tools) strategy that provides an application development environment with industry standard APIs for application portability and object frameworks to assist developers with code reuse. ...

... After a brief leave in Bangalore to work on astronomy (and holiday in Nepal), Dave will be continuing in management positions within the ATNF. ... We have also hosted an observing project visit from a contingent of ATNF and CTIP vacation scholars, who observed h Carina with the new 12-mm system (see article elsewhere in this issue), observed new HIPASS galaxies, and studied interference from microwave ovens. ... Currently we are testing this system with a single antenna. ...

The project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed. This system allows a user to operate with simulated curves of spectral energy distributions (SED) to estimate ages and redshifts by photometry data. Authors use SEDs of several models for different types of galaxies. ... The HTTP and e-mail access is organized to this system. ...

At Arecibo we have a variety of optical instruments that we use to study terrestrial airglow emissions. ... As a complement to the airglow instrumentation we also maintain a set of optical instruments, called lidars, used for "active" remote sensing of the atmosphere. That is, we generate our own source signal using lasers and measure the characteristics of the light scattered back from the atmosphere. ... An operations manual for the Optical Laboratories is currently under major revision. ...

... The distribution of galactic RCB stars is controversial. Several authors have argued that they belong to a thick galactic disk, and are thus old Population I stars. However, they may alternatively belong to the even older galactic bulge (Population II). ... In either case, the populations are sufficiently old that RCB stars must have relatively low masses ( ). ... These are the only RCB stars for which a distance is known and hence for which an absolute magnitude can be deduced. ...
